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