Pulled tacos are one of my favorite ways to utilize a so-called “winter roast” and create a beautiful and tasty summer appetizer or main course. These tropical pulled deckel tacos are sweet, spicy, bright and amazingly delicious. We served these as an appetizer for Shabbat lunch with all the fixings. They made such a statement and were enjoyed by my family and guests! Yields 4 Main Course servings, or 8 Appetizers
