Instructions

Step 1: In a slow cooker, combine 2 lbs pork shoulder, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp ground ginger. Cook on low for 8 hours until pork is tender and shreds easily.

Step 3: When pork is done, shred with two forks and mix into the cooking juices to keep moist and flavorful.
Step 4: To assemble, spoon generous portions of pulled pork onto 12 large iceberg lettuce leaves, then top with a heaping tablespoon of pineapple slaw.
Step 5: Serve immediately for handheld Tiki-inspired wraps bursting with sweet, savory, and tangy flavors.
