Smoky pulled pork in crisp lettuce cups keeps things light but packed with protein. Perfect for a Sunday when you want something casual but still put-together.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the pork shoulder dry and rub the seasoning mix thoroughly over all surfaces. Place the pork in a Dutch oven or heavy roasting pan.
Cover and cook in the preheated oven for 4–5 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily. Rest for 10 minutes before handling.
Using two forks, shred the cooked pork directly in the pan and mix in the BBQ sauce while the meat is still hot to absorb maximum flavor.
Prepare the lettuce leaves by gently separating and washing them. To serve, scoop about 1/2 cup shredded pork onto each leaf, and top with red onion and shredded carrots for crunch.
