Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Boneless pork shoulder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 12 Corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cups Shredded cabbage
- 0.5 cups Sliced red onion
- 2 Avocado, sliced
Instructions
Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Cut the pork into 3 to 4 large chunks to help it cook more evenly.
In a small bowl, combine black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano. Rub this spice mixture evenly over each piece of pork.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and low sodium chicken broth to the cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easy to pull apart with a fork.
Once the pork is done cooking, transfer it to a large bowl and shred it using two forks.
Stir the lime juice into the pulled pork to add some brightness to the flavor.
Warm the corn tortillas either in a microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds or in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the pulled pork onto each tortilla.
Top with shredded cabbage, sliced red onion, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low sodium pulled pork tacos.
