LEFTOVER SHREDDED PORK WRAPS

I had some leftover BBQ shredded pork meat and wanted to make something other than the usual sandwich. A recipe on my shredded pork package gave me the idea to make a wrap. This is my version, based on the ingredients I had on hand. I was really happy with how this turned out. This would be equally good with shredded beef or chicken too. I served with with some black beans. All measurements are to taste.

PORK WRAPS

This is a quick easy meal for supper. I have added a tomato sliced and seeded and that was really good too. You can season the pork while sauteing but its not necessary. Of course the taste will vary depending on what barbecue sauce you use. I like this with thick and spicy barbecue sauce. Something different and kids like to wrap their own! I also have used chicken and it is equally just as good!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pork: Select a flavorful cut of pork, such as pork shoulder or pork loin, for tender and juicy shredded pork.
  • Slow-Cook for Best Results: Slow-cooking the pork allows it to break down and become fall-apart tender. Use a slow cooker or braise the pork in the oven.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Add a flavorful liquid to the slow cooker or braising liquid, such as broth, stock, or even beer, to infuse the pork with extra taste.
  • Use a Variety of Seasonings: Experiment with different herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a unique flavor profile for the shredded pork. Some popular choices include garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Shred the Pork Properly: Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks or a meat shredder. Avoid over-shredding, as this can result in a mushy texture.
  • Prepare the Wraps: Use a variety of wraps, such as tortillas, flatbreads, or lettuce leaves, to accommodate different dietary preferences and tastes.
  • Add Fresh Toppings: Enhance the wraps with fresh toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro for added flavor and texture.
  • Don't Forget the Sauce: Serve the wraps with a variety of sauces, such as barbecue sauce, salsa, or ranch dressing, to add an extra layer of flavor and moisture.

Conclusion:

Leftover shredded pork is a versatile ingredient that can be used to create a variety of delicious and satisfying wraps. With a little creativity and these helpful tips, you can easily transform leftover pork into a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
