Ingredients
1½ kg | Pork shoulder |
1 | Packet Pams Taco Mexican Spice Mix |
2 | Onions, thinly sliced |
2 | Oranges, zest and juice |
2 Tbsp | Apple cider vinegar |
1 tsp | Salt |
1 | Pack Pams Flour Tortillas |
1 | Bag Pams Superfoods Super Slaw |
Method
- Remove and discard the pork skin. Rub the pork shoulder all over with the spice mix and put into a slow cooker along with the onion, orange zest and juice and apple cider vinegar. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook on low for 8 hours. The meat should be very tender.
- Pour the cooking liquid into a small saucepan and reduce by half. Tear apart the meat with a couple of forks and add back to the liquid.
- To serve, put some slaw in each tortilla and spoon over some pulled pork and its cooking juices. Eat immediately.
Top Tip
- Add a little creaminess with some mayonnaise mixed through the slaw. For a real Kiwi spin, make a kiwifruit salsa to serve alongside - simply dice 2 kiwifruit and mix with chopped chilli or jarred jalapeños, coriander, lime zest and juice and a small diced red onion.
- Any leftover pulled pork can be added to tortilla chips and your favourite toppings for quick and easy pork nachos.
