Set up these soft tacos at a do-it-yourself station or serve them as a plated entree with all the trimmings. A sprinkling of pomegranate seeds makes for a festive garnish.

1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 lb. roasted pork shoulder, chopped
1/2 cup prepared barbecue sauce
16 corn tortillas (6-in. size)
1/2 cup grated queso fresco
1/4 cup roasted tomatillo salsa

Steps
1. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the pork or chicken; lightly saute to heat through.
