Ingredients
  

PULLED PORK

  • 600 g pork shoulder
  • ½ tbsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground oregano
  • salt to taste
  • 360 ml chicken stock
  • 3-4 tbsp barbecue sauce

TACO

  • 4 20 cm tortilla wraps
  • 100 g purple cabbage/lettuce
  • 1 tomato diced

YOGHURT LIME SAUCE

  • 75 g Greek yoghurt
  • juice of 1 large lime
  • ½ tbsp honey or more

Instructions
 

  • Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, ground oregano and salt in a bowl. Rub the spice mix over the pork shoulder.
  • Heat a frypan over medium-high heat, then add some olive oil. Fry the pork shoulder on both sides for about 1-2 minutes, till browned. You may want to slice the pork shoulder into half if it's too thick.
  • Add chicken stock into the frypan, then cover and cook over low heat for 2 hours. Flip the pork shoulder every 30 minutes. Note: The chicken stock may not cover the pork shoulder entirely so you will need to flip the meat to ensure even cooking.
  • Monitor the pan to ensure the liquid doesn't dry up too quickly. After 2 hours, the liquid should have dried up and the pork shoulder should be very tender. Shred the pork shoulder using a fork.
  • Add barbecue sauce (adjust amount according to preference) to shredded pork and combine well.
  • In another frypan, fry tortilla wraps on both sides over medium heat till desired crispiness.
  • Meanwhile, combine Greek yoghurt, lime juice and honey to create the sauce.
  • Assemble the tacos by adding one serving of pulled pork, diced tomatoes and purple cabbage onto each tortilla wrap, then drizzle some yoghurt sauce over.
