Instructions
Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and chili powder until fully coated.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and chicken broth around the pork to keep it moist.
Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours or until the pork can be easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the cooking juices.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the slaw. In a bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, grated carrot, lime juice, and chopped fresh cilantro. Toss well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
For serving, take a romaine lettuce leaf and fill it with a portion of pulled pork. Top with a small amount of cabbage slaw and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, low-carb pulled pork tacos.
