In a small bowl, combine sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring even coverage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Sear the Pork<\/strong>: Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork shoulder and sear each side until browned, roughly 5 minutes per side. This step helps to lock in flavors while giving the outer layer a delicious crust.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Slow Cook<\/strong>: Transfer the seared pork shoulder into a slow cooker. Pour the bone broth or chicken stock, and apple cider vinegar over the top. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pull-apart.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Shred the Pork<\/strong>: Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices remaining in the pot to enhance the flavor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Assemble the Lettuce Wraps<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Prepare the Lettuce Leaves<\/strong>: Carefully wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Arrange them on a serving platter, ready to be filled.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Add Toppings<\/strong>: Fill each lettuce leaf with a generous portion of pulled pork. Top with diced avocado, cherry tomato halves, and freshly chopped cilantro. Squeeze a little lime juice over the wraps for added zest. For extra flavor, add optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, or sliced jalape\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Recipe Summary<\/h3>\n<p>These Keto-Friendly Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps offer a delectable and nutritious meal rich in healthy fats and bold flavors.
