How to Make Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps

You can eat it on its own or with some fresh greens and vegetables for a healthy, filling meal.

Ingredient Notes for Pulled Pork Wraps

Complete recipe and instructions are below.

Pork Shoulder - pork shoulder is a cut of pork that lends well to slow cooking or braising.

Variety of Pantry Spices - these are common spices in most pantries. Onion powder, garlic powder, rosemary, paprika, pepper and last but not least sea salt and pepper to taste.

Ground Fennel Seeds - Besides being used in food, fennel seeds are used medicinally as both a digestive and a breath freshener. Fennel seed is certainly part of the anise-licorice family of herbs. Ground fennel can be used in soups, chowders, braises, and breads.

Cocoa Powder - cocoa powder helps to enhance and enrich the flavor of the pork.

Chicken Broth - you can use organic chicken broth or organic chicken bone broth. Both act as a stimulant to prevent the meat from drying out.

Recipe Directions

Step 1: Prepare your spice rub

Mix all the spices together in a small bowl and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. These meal prep bowls are great and I use them all the time!

Step 2: Season the pork shoulder

Apply the spice mix to the pork shoulder. Don't be shy, give it a good scrub! Place the spice-rubbed pork in a slow cooker with a capacity of 5 or 6 quarts.

Step 3: Add moisture

Along with the pork, add the chicken broth. As it can remove the spices from the top of the meat, I don't like to pour it directly on it.

Step 4: Shred the pork

While the roast is still in the slow cooker, use two forks to pull it apart. To let the flavors meld and soak in, let the pork rest with the juices for a few minutes.
