Instructions

Pulled pork

  1. Combine all the dry spices together and rub them all over the pork shoulder. Turn the oven to 275F or get your crock pot ready. Combine the citrus juices, zests, and garlic. Place the pork shoulder in its cooking pan (or crock) and pour the juice mixture over the top. Cook for 5-6 hours until  fork tender. Shred before using. 

Slaw

  1. Thinly slice all the vegetables and toss with white balsamic and lime juice.

Peppers and onions

  1. Add the oil to a cast iron pan or skillet and allow to get smoking hot (on medium to medium-high heat). Just as the pan starts to smoke add the peppers and onions. saute a minute before adding the garlic. Cook until  onions are beginning to turn translucent. Remove from the burner.

Assembly

  1. Grab a tortilla and layer in pork, chard peppers, slaw, and top with guacamole. I like setting up an assembly line on the counter and have everyone go through to make their own.
