- 3 pounds Boneless pork shoulder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 cups Whole30 compliant enchilada sauce
- 8 pieces Grain-free tortillas

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder to coat well.
Place the pork shoulder in a large Dutch oven or roasting pan.
Peel and quarter the onion, then place it around the pork.
Peel and smash the garlic cloves, then add them to the pan.
Pour the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar into the pan.
Cover the pan with a lid or foil, then roast in the oven for 4 to 5 hours, until the pork is tender and falls apart easily.
Once done, remove the pork from the oven and shred it using two forks.
In a medium saucepan, heat the Whole30 compliant enchilada sauce over medium heat.
Mix in the tomato paste and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay out the grain-free tortillas and fill each with a portion of shredded pork and a tablespoon of enchilada sauce.
Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading it evenly.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, until heated through.
Remove from oven and garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
