Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked pulled pork (preferably slow-cooked or smoked for best flavor)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for reheating)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (use dairy-free coconut yogurt if needed)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a handful of fresh cilantro
  • 1 head of butter lettuce or romaine leaves (washed and separated into large leaves)
  • Optional toppings: sliced radishes, diced red onion, jalapeño slices, or shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Gently wash and dry the lettuce leaves using a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pulled pork, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and warm through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a food processor or blender, combine the ripe avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a splash of water or lime juice to loosen. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Slice radishes thinly, dice red onions, and chop jalapeños if using for optional toppings.
  5. Lay out a lettuce leaf, spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of warm pulled pork into the center, then drizzle with the creamy avocado sauce. Add any optional toppings you like.
  6. Serve immediately while the pork is warm and the lettuce crisp.

Notes

Use slow-cooked or smoked pulled pork for best flavor and tenderness. Reheat pork gently over medium heat to avoid drying out; add a splash of broth or water if needed. Keep lettuce leaves dry to maintain crunch. Adjust avocado sauce consistency by adding water or lime juice if too thick. Assemble wraps just before serving to keep lettuce crisp.
