Instructions

Mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a small bowl.
Pat pork dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil on the pork (optional), then coat with the spice mix on all sides.
Place pork in slow cooker. Pour chicken broth and vinegar around the meat, not on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 5–6 hours, until it’s tender and easy to shred.
Shred the pork with two forks. For crispier pork, spread on a sheet pan or skillet and broil or sear for a few minutes.
Wash and dry your lettuce. Spoon pork into each leaf, then top with cheese, sour cream, avocado, and any other toppings.
Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh lettuce for the best crunch.
Pork can be cooked from frozen—just add extra time.
Reheat leftovers in a pan to bring back crispiness.
Great for meal prep—store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze for later.
Leftovers are perfect for breakfast tacos, salads, or straight from the fridge.
