Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 6 pieces Low carb tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 large Lime
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the marinade for the pork. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
2. Pat the pork shoulder dry and rub it with the olive oil followed by the spice mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
3. Place the seasoned pork shoulder into a slow cooker and pour the chicken broth around it.
4. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low. Cook for about 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with forks.
5. Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any excess fat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker to soak up the juices.
6. Assemble the burritos: Warm the low carb tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Lay one tortilla flat and add a portion of shredded pork, a sprinkle of cheese, a spoonful of sour cream, and a few slices of avocado.
7. Top with a little salsa and fresh cilantro, then add a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
8. Fold the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom to encase all the filling.
9. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, serve the burritos warm, and enjoy your delicious low carb meal.
