How to Make Easy Keto Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps in Two Simple Steps
Thanks to using a convenient slow cooker, these lettuce wraps are incredibly easy to make. They only take about 10 minutes to put together, and the rest of the time you’re free to do something else while your pulled pork cooks to perfection!
Step #1: In a small bowl, place cocoa and all spices. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder, then transfer it to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Add chicken broth to crock and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
Step #2: Once the pulled pork is done, use two forks to pull apart the pork while it’s still sitting in the slow cooker.
Tip: Leave the pulled pork in the juices in the slow cooker and set to warm for 20-30 minutes. This will give it time to absorb even more of the great flavor!
To serve: Fill each leaf of lettuce with Broccoli Keto Slaw and top with pulled pork.
