How to Make
- Prepare the Pork: Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and pat it dry. Generously season with the pulled pork seasoning, ensuring all sides are coated to infuse flavor.
- Sear the Meat: Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until it’s beautifully browned.
- Slow Cook: Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker. Pour your BBQ sauce over it, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for about 4 hours.
- Shred the Pork: When the pork has finished cooking, shred the meat directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
- Prepare Base & Toppings: As the pork cooks, prepare your rice or quinoa and chop your fresh vegetables.
- Assemble Bowls: In each bowl, layer your rice or quinoa first, then pile on the shredded pork, followed by fresh veggies, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
Optional: Add crumbled cheese or extra cilantro on top for a fresh finish.
