Dickey's Barbecue Pit recently expanded its selection of pulled pork offerings with the addition of its limited-edition Pulled Pork Street Tacos. While the chain rolled out [pulled pork sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cubano) earlier this year, now customers can enjoy the same delicious ingredients in the form of a tasty taco.

The new Pulled Pork Street Tacos consists of the chain's signature pulled pork, combined with coleslaw and [spicy barbecue sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dickeys-barbecue-pit-specials). The ingredients are then folded into [two four-inch corn tortillas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiesta-softshell-tacos) for a gluten-free meal option. For those who are looking for something more filling, the tacos can be purchased as part of a combo that includes four tacos, one side dish and one large drink.

The dish not only caters to those looking for a hearty, meat-based dish, but also to gluten-free customers as well.
