Prep Time: 20 minutes

Number of Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:

  • 4 lb pork shoulder

  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • Juice of 3 limes (divided)

  • 2 Tbsp garlic powder

  • 2 Tbsp chili powder

  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper

  • ½ head cabbage, shredded

  • 1 whole Maui Gold® pineapple, diced

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 whole green onions, sliced

  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 8 corn tortillas

  • Maui Gold® Pineapple Hot Dog Relish (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Place pork shoulder in a 6-quart slow cooker or prepare smoker to 250°F if using.

  2. In a bowl, mix barbecue sauce, brown sugar, juice of 2 limes, garlic powder, chili powder, and cayenne to form a paste. Rub thoroughly over the pork.

  3. Cook in the slow cooker on high for 5–6 hours or low for 8–9 hours, until pork is fork-tender. Shred with two forks. (For smoker: cook at 250°F for 6–8 hours, then shred.)

  4. While pork cooks, prepare the pineapple slaw. In a large bowl, toss together shredded cabbage, diced Maui Gold® pineapple, juice of the remaining lime, olive oil, red onion, green onion, and red pepper flakes.

  5. Warm tortillas, then fill each with shredded pork and a generous scoop of pineapple slaw. Top with Maui Gold® Pineapple Hot Dog Relish if desired. Serve immediately.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

“This is my new starting point of how a pineapple should taste.”

- Guy Fieri

Chef, TV Personality, and Flavor Enthusiast

"I love the simplicity of adding AG1 to my daily routine. It's so easy to start my day adding my AG1 to a smoothie and allows me to drink it on the go. I’ve noticed a big shift in how I feel, with sustained energy, and good recovery."

ENTREPRENEUR, SEVEN-TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST, AG1 PARTNER

“I’ve been drinking AG1 every single day for a few years and it’s become a key part of my routine. As a daily clean, green source of energy - it tastes great, is convenient to take on the road, and is complete enough to be an all-in-one supplement. I love that it’s a really easy way to improve my overall health.”
