This is the third installment in a series of recipes I’m calling “Taco Fuseday”, where I take other dishes and cuisines and make them into tacos. The first one I did was this Meatloaf Tacos recipe followed by the Chicken Curry Tacos. You can see all of our Taco Fuseday recipes here. This recipe is for Slow Cooker Banh Mi Pork Tacos. This one isn’t as much of a stretch as some of the others since Banh Mi sandwiches are common and you can even find tacos in some places already. I had to include it though because it makes excellent tacos.

Banh mi is French bread. You can’t make a banh mi taco. Do your research and name this something else. You all look like idiots
Hey Alex,
I thought about deleting this comment, but it’s fine. Why not? I don’t know why people feel like making comments like this on other people’s work, but I’ll give you my reasoning anyway. I am actually aware that Banh Mi literally means bread or baguette. However, the “banh mi sandwich” has taken on a life of its own and is well-known enough as a traditional concoction that making other things out of it is done pretty often. In fact, we’re not even close to the first to make “Banh Mi Tacos” or “Banh Mi Style Tacos”. Because of this, and the fact that the Taco Fuseday idea is already taking liberties with cuisines, I didn’t feel the need to change the name. In fact, using the name is part of the point.
