Ingredients

Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.

  • Pulled pork – You can use pulled pork from my favorite pork roast recipe or that has been smoked.

For the sauce

  • Enchilada sauce – I use my homemade enchilada sauce, but you can also use your favorite store-bought sauce.
  • Coca-Cola – The Coke adds a deep, rich flavor to the sauce on this salad.
  • Brown sugar – Adds sweetness and more molasses flavor to the sauce.
  • Sriracha sauce – adds a little spicy heat to the sauce.

For the salad

  • Lettuce greens – use your favorite salad greens
  • Cucumber – adds a fresh, cool bite to the salad
  • Tomatoes – I love to use cherry tomatoes, but in season heirloom tomatoes are also delicious
  • Black Beans – drain and rinse a can of black beans to add to the salad.
  • Red onion – a little finely sliced red onion is so delicious on this salad
  • Canola oil – (optional) for crisping the tortilla if you are serving the salad on the tortilla.
  • Tortillas – (optional)
  • Mozzarella cheese – grated and served on top of the salad

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prep the pork. Prepare pork roast according to recipe directions. Pull apart with two forks. Set aside.
  • Prepare the sauce. Combine the enchilada sauce, Coke, brown sugar, and Sriracha sauce in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Cook until reduced and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Set aside 1/4 cup of sauce. Add pulled pork to the remainder of the sauce and toss to coat the pulled pork.
  • Make the salad. Assemble the salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, black beans, and onion. Top with pulled pork and then cheese. Drizzle each salad with a bit more sauce.
  • Cook tortillas. (Optional) One at a time, cook tortillas on both sides until lightly browned in a skillet set over medium heat. Remove with tongs and allow to drain. Slice into strips and serve a few pieces alongside each salad.

Here’s the recipe for my Pulled Pork Enchilada Salad. I hope you love it as much as my husband does!

    This looks incredible Robyn! I’m trying to make it a better habit to roast larger pieces of meat to have for leftovers during the week. This is a great use for extra meat!!
