Spicy Barbecue Pork Chop Tacos with Chunky Avocado Salsa

Spicy Barbecue Pork Chop Tacos with Chunky Avocado Salsa. A kid favourite and a terrific use for leftover grilled pork chops or a good reason to grill some.

Spicy Barbecue Pork Chop Tacos with Chunky Avocado Salsa

Last night I planned to make simple grilled pork chops using my Maple Chipotle Barbecue Sauce but number one son, Noah, had a yen for tacos so pork chop tacos were born!

See? No problem, we just combined the two into a very delicious dinner; compromise is what brings family harmony after all.

As the expression goes here in Newfoundland, we all went “face and eyes into it”! We had both hard and soft shell tacos on hand and they were both fantastic.

We added some simple homemade chunky avocado salsa to the tacos too which made them even better. I’m always up for a quick, easy dinner idea and this was a particularly good one that I know we will be making again soon.

If using leftover chops for these pork chop tacos, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and reheat in a 350 degree F  for about 10 minutes before thinly slicing.

You can find my recipe for the Maple Chipotle Barbecue Sauce that I used here.
