Ingredients

for the pulled pork:

3-4 lb pork shoulder
1 package taco seasoning
1 (16oz) jar of your favorite salsa

for the veggie slaw:

1 (12oz) bag broccoli slaw
2 red bell peppers cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves minced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tbsps olive oil
healthy pinch salt and pepper

for everything else:

2 cups dry white rice cooked according to package instructions*
1-2 (20oz) cans pineapple tidbits or chunks
8 oz sour cream
1-2 tbsps lime juice
2 avocados diced

Instructions

Place the pork shoulder in the bowl of your slow cooker. Top with taco seasoning and salsa then cook on low for 8-10 hours then shred it.
When the pork has about 1 hour left, make your slaw: Add all ingredients to a large bowl then toss to coat. Let sit until everything else is ready.
When the pork has about 20 minutes left, make your rice according to the package instructions.
Also at this time, make your lime sour cream: Whisk together sour cream and lime juice until smooth.
Divide cooked rice between bowls. Top with pulled pork, veggie slaw, pineapple tidbits, and avocado chunks then finally a drizzle of lime sour cream and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

* If you love the flavor of coconut... substitute the water for coconut milk when cooking your rice!

SERVING SIZE NOTE: This recipe serves 6-8 people since I find that it's difficult to buy a chunk of pork shoulder smaller then 3-4 pounds BUT if you are only feeding 2-4 people, just make all the pork and freeze half of it then half the rest of ingredients. You could also swap the pork for chicken if you're more into that.
