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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and low sodium chicken broth to the cooker.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the pork is done cooking, transfer it to a large bowl and shred it using two forks.

Step 6

Stir the lime juice into the pulled pork to add some brightness to the flavor.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the pulled pork onto each tortilla.

Step 9

Top with shredded cabbage, sliced red onion, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices to taste.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low sodium pulled pork tacos.
