Chipotle BBQ Pulled Pork Torta
Cook Time: 3-6 hours
Servings: 8

These smoky Chipotle BBQ Pulled Pork Tortas are loaded with layers of flavor—from green chile garlic aioli to a sweet and spicy chipotle BBQ sauce. Whether oven-baked or slow-cooked, this juicy pork makes the perfect Mexican-style sandwich. Serve it on toasted telera rolls with beans, lettuce, and jalapeños for the full effect.

Ingredients

For Pork:

Optional: sliced tomato, lettuce, La Preferida Sliced Jalapeños

 

Green Chile Garlic Aioli:

BBQ Chipotle Sauce: (can substitute with pre-made Chipotle BBQ sauce)

Method
  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Cut pork into two large chunks to reduce cook time.
  2. Place pork in a baking dish, coat with 1 packet of Chipotle Seasoning + 1 extra tablespoon of seasoning. Sprinkle with salt, and add 1 cup water.
  3. Cover tightly with a lid, or parchment paper and foil.  Chef Tip: Cook pork with the fat side up so it bastes itself.
  4. Bake for 2–3 hours until the pork shreds easily. Check after 90 minutes and add more water if needed.
  5. Once cooked, allow the pork to cool slightly in its juices. Shred with two forks. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a bit of reserved cooking liquid to keep the pork juicy. Reserve ½ cup liquid for the BBQ sauce.

 

Alternate (Slow Cooker):

  1. Coat the pork with 1 packet of Chipotle Seasoning + 1 extra tablespoon of seasoning.
  2. Add 1 cup of liquid (water or broth) to the crockpot. Place pork inside. (Cut pork in half if the pieces are too large.)
  3. Cook on low for 6 hours. Check for doneness (should shred easily with 2 forks.) If not, cook for another hour.

 

Make the Sauces:

  • BBQ Chipotle Sauce: Blend BBQ sauce, 4 chipotle peppers (5 for more heat), a spoonful of adobo sauce, 1 Tbsp Chipotle Seasoning, and reserved pork liquid until smooth.
  • Green Chile Aioli: Blend mayo, 2 Tbsp Diced Green Chiles, garlic, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust lime to taste.

Assemble the Tortas:

  1. Slice and toast rolls.
  2. Spread refried beans on the bottom half of the roll.
  3. Add a layer of aioli, then top with pulled pork.
  4. Drizzle with chipotle BBQ sauce.
  5. Layer with lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and optional jalapeños.
  6. Top with the other half of the roll and serve warm.
