AN EASY PORK LETTUCE WRAPS RECIPE

Let the slow cooker do the heavy lifting when it comes to this easy pork recipe. The combination of spices and rich broth make for a melt in your mouth pork wrap experience.

I love making pork in the slow cooker like slow cooker pork fajitas, pork tenderloin and more!

This healthy and simple pulled pork wrap is flavored with onion, garlic, and some flavor packed spices like fennel and cocoa.

It’s a perfect handheld meal, whether made as a pulled pork lettuce wrap or in a whole grain tortilla wrap.

INGREDIENTS FOR PULLED PORK WRAPS

• pork shoulder, a cut of pork which lends itself to slow cooking or braising
• easy pantry spices - onion and garlic powder, dried rosemary, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper for just a hint of heat.
• ground fennel seeds for an unexpected depth of flavor
• cocoa powder to enrich and enhance the flavors
• chicken broth, so the pork doesn't dry out
  

HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY PORK LETTUCE WRAPS RECIPE

Step 1: Prepare your spice rub

In a small bowl combine all the spices and add a little salt & pepper to suit your taste. I absolutely love these meal prep bowls and use them all the time!

Step 2: Season the pork shoulder

Rub the spice mix all over the pork shoulder. Don't be shy, give it a good rubdown! Then place the spice rubbed pork into a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker.

Step 3: Add moisture

Add the chicken broth along side the pork. I don't like to pour it directly on the meat as it can remove the spice blend from the top.

Step 4: Shred the pork

Once the roast is cooked completely, use two forks to pull the pork apart while it is still in the slow cooker. Let the pork hang out with the juices for a few minutes to let the flavors meld and soak up.

HOW TO SERVE PULLED PORK WRAPS

These wraps are sure to become part of your monthly meal rotation. They're a great on the go meal option, too!

To serve, fill each lettuce leaf with some crunchy broccoli slaw and top with some pulled pork. Enjoy!

And if the farmer or family members in your life aren't up for a lettuce wrap sandwich, go ahead and put it onto a bun, or in a tortilla.

It's still delicious and sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.
