BBQ Pulled Pork Wrap Recipe

Ingredients

• 1-pound pork shoulder (or pork butt)
• 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 cup water
• 4 whole wheat tortilla wraps
• 1 cup coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrot)
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
• Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Pork

1. Begin by rubbing the pork shoulder with olive oil, ensuring it’s well-coated.
2. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture thoroughly over the pork.
3. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned pork and sear on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Pork

1. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water to the skillet, scraping the bottom to gather all the flavorful bits.
3. Return the pork to the skillet, cover it with the lid, and simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork. Alternatively, you can use a slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours.

Step 3: Shred and Sauce the Pork

1. Once the pork is tender, remove it from the liquid and shred it using two forks.
2. Return the shredded pork to the skillet, add the BBQ sauce, and stir until the pork is evenly coated. Keep warm.

Step 4: Prepare the Coleslaw

1. In a separate bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. Toss well to coat the vegetables. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

1. Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
2. Place a generous amount of BBQ pulled pork in the center of each tortilla.
3. Top with a spoonful of the creamy coleslaw.
4. Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the top if desired.
5. Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other to form a wrap.
