Why Lettuce Wraps?

Lettuce wraps are a fantastic alternative to traditional buns or tortillas, especially when you’re following a keto or low-carb diet. They provide a refreshing crunch and a light vessel for your flavorful fillings. We’re using large, crisp lettuce leaves (like romaine or butter lettuce) to hold our tender pulled pork.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs Pork Shoulder
• 1 cup Keto-Friendly BBQ Sauce (check labels for sugar content!)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Large Lettuce Leaves (Romaine or Butter Lettuce)
• Optional toppings: Shredded Cabbage, Diced Red Onion, Avocado

Instructions:

1. Season the pork shoulder with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned.
3. Pour the keto-friendly BBQ sauce over the pork shoulder.
4. Cover and simmer on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is easily shredded with a fork. Alternatively, you can use a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
5. Remove the pork from the skillet or slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
6. Assemble your lettuce wraps: Fill each lettuce leaf with the pulled pork and your desired toppings.
7. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the pork seasoning.
• Don’t have time to make pulled pork from scratch? Use leftover pulled pork and simply toss it with keto-friendly BBQ sauce.
• Experiment with different toppings! Pickled onions, jalapenos, or a dollop of sour cream are all delicious additions.
• Make sure your BBQ sauce is truly keto-friendly. Many commercially available sauces are loaded with sugar.
