This delicious BBQ Pork Walking Tacos recipe comes together in about 20 minutes and requires minimal cleanup for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that your family will love!
Ingredient Breakdown
When making BBQ Pork Walking Tacos, it’s all about using what you have on hand and making it fun! Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- 2 to 3 cups of leftover BBQ pulled pork (Your favorite pulled pork recipe works great!)
- BBQ sauce (Use as much or as little as you like)
- 4 bags of individual size potato chips (I recommend Ruffles for that perfect crunch)
- Toppings such as shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeno slices, diced tomatoes, or avocado
Feel free to customize the ingredients based on your family’s preferences or what you’ve got hiding in the fridge. The best part? You can easily adjust the flavors to make these tacos your own!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Cooking doesn’t get much easier than this! Here’s how to whip up these delightful BBQ Pork Walking Tacos:
Warm the Pork: Start by placing your leftover BBQ pulled pork in a bowl and drizzing some BBQ sauce over it. Mix it well, this really helps to elevate the flavors! Microwave the mixture for about 1-2 minutes until it’s warmed through. You should be able to smell that delicious BBQ aroma wafting through your kitchen!
Prep the Chips: Open the bags of potato chips. Be careful, those things are like a Pandora’s box of flavor! Grab a handful of the cheesy pulled pork mixture you just warmed and pile it right on top of the chips. Now comes the fun part, add your favorite toppings! Go crazy with shredded lettuce, cheese, that creamy sour cream, and those spicy jalapenos if you’re feeling adventurous.
Mix it Up: Here’s a nifty trick: crush the bag of chips slightly toward the bottom. It creates a nice little bowl for your delicious concoction. Use a fork (or even your hands, I won’t judge!) to mix everything together right in the chip bag. It’s super easy to eat and oh-so-fun!

Serving and Storage Tips
Serving Suggestions: These walking tacos are awesome on their own, but if you’re looking to round out the meal, consider serving them with a fresh garden salad or some simple corn on the cob. They pair wonderfully with a refreshing drink, like iced tea or lemonade, especially on a hot summer day!
Storage: If you have any leftovers (which is a rarity in my house!), store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Just note that the chips will lose their crunch, so I’d recommend not mixing everything together until you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers.
Reheating Instructions: To reheat the pork, microwave it again for 1-2 minutes until warmed through, then top your freshly opened chip bag just like the first time!
Freezer Friendly: You can freeze leftover pulled pork that you may have extra! Just make sure to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then easily heat it up according to the instructions above.
Incorporating BBQ Pork Walking Tacos into your weekly rotation is not just a hit in taste; it’s also about making meals a bit more fun and laid-back. Kids love getting involved, and you’ll appreciate how speedy the whole process is, win, win!
By the way, have you tried other unexpected taco fillings? They can be amazing! A nice twist on tradition can bring excitement to those dinner tables. And, of course, get creative with chips. Tortilla chips are great, but what about crispy wonton chips? Ah, the possibilities!
Don’t let cooking be a chore. Embrace the chaos, and enjoy! I hope your family loves these BBQ Pork Walking Tacos as much as mine does.
Happy cooking! And don’t forget to follow us on Pinterest for daily meal inspiration!
