This delicious low-carb keto pulled pork lettuce wrap recipe takes only 10 minutes to put together. After that, you’re free to do something else while your slow cooker transforms it into a nearly effortless melt-in-your-mouth dish your family will love. In this easy pulled pork recipe, we have the ingredients for a dry rub to give your pork roast that awesome savory goodness. If your grocery store has no boneless pork shoulder, use a pork butt (aka Boston butt) which is actually from the same cut of meat.
For even tastier results, allow pork to sit in its yummy juices once you’ve pulled it apart. This will allow it to absorb even more of that great flavor! Enjoy this shredded pork several different ways. A great way of course is in a lettuce wrap, using iceberg or butter leaf lettuce. Another great option is pork tacos! Take a keto tortilla, fill it with the pulled pork and top it with green onions, some green salsa and a squeeze of lime. If you’re not too strict on the keto diet, pork sandwiches with some keto bbq sauce is another great way to go.
