1

Prepare the Pulled Pork

In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of paprika, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of onion powder. Rub this flavorful spice mixture all over a 3-pound pork shoulder roast. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

2

Slow Cook the Pork

Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of barbecue sauce to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

3

Build the Tacos

Warm up some flour tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave. Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of pulled pork. Top it off with your favorite taco toppings like shredded cabbage, sliced jalapenos, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Feel free to get creative and add some Carolina-style coleslaw for an extra tangy twist!
