1 head of lettuce – I like Butter or Romaine lettuce
Optional toppings – tomato, avocado, cilantro, red onion, nutritional yeast
Instructions
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot (flick a drop of water into the pan to see if it sizzles), place the pork down in the pan. If the meat won’t fit in the pan, cut in half – it’s ok to sear in two batches, it won’t take long. Remove when each side has a nice brown color to it, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Place the seared pork in the bottom of your slow cooker and add all other ingredients besides the lettuce.
Let this cook for 8 hours on low (or 4 hours on high).
Pull the pork apart with forks, and scoop into sturdy lettuce pieces. Fold up, and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe is very forgiving. I have made it with pork shoulder and very thick pork chops. The chops won’t be as juicy but it still works!
Always feel free to go up in flavor and salt. You can always add but you can’t take away. This works well for us, however!
