Dinner isn’t always complicated around here. This Crispy Pulled Pork with Chipotle Slaw is a testament to that! As much as I love a pan of my Hatch Green Chile Enchiladas or a pot of Trinidadian Chicken, there is nothing wrong with a little help from the grocery store. I love to pick up this 5 ingredient Pulled Pork from Costco that happens to be Whole30 Compliant, crisp it up in a skillet, and serve it as tacos, sandwiches, or in lettuce cups. If there are leftovers, I even like to serve it on top of my crispy hash browns or in an easy, 1 ingredient egg wrap for breakfast!
While crisping the pork up in the skillet, I like to season it with a combination of Southwestern seasonings― things like cumin, coriander, chipotle powder, chili powder, and Mexican oregano. If you want a little less heat, add your favorite mediterranean seasonings, or even a little bbq rub.
The crispy pulled pork is delicious but the Chipotle Slaw really takes things up a level! My creamy, a little spicy, and a tad smoky chipotle vinaigrette stirred into a crispy slaw mix make this dish shine.
