1 cup store bought BBQ sauce
1/4 cup Bourbon

Stir a generous portion into the pulled pork and place the rest in a serving bowl to serve with taco"s for extra applications.

Chipolte sauce:
Combine the following in a blender and blend well.  Place in serving bowl.
1 cup honey
juice of 1 orange
3/4 cup chopped celantro
2T of canned chipolte peppers

To assemble the taco:
1. Place a wheat tortilia shell on a griddle or skillet with a pat of butter, begin to warm the shell and then place about 1/2 cup shredded cheese, spread the cheese evenly, let cheese melt.
2. Place a portion size of BBQ mixed pulled pork in the center, spoon a small amount of the chipolte sauce over the taco, you can add more later if desired.  The chipolte sauce is made from smoked jalipeno peppers.
3.Fold the taco in half and place on plate.
Serve with sour cream, pico, extra BBQ sauce and extra chipolte sauce

Please try this recipe, I think it will replace your old taco's.  The extra sauces and be frozen for up to a year.
