Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Marinade
- 2 to 3 pounds pork shoulder or pork butt, trimmed of excess fat
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Wrap Components
- Soft flatbread or pita, warmed
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon oil (for grilling onions)
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
Sauces and Extras
- Spicy mustard sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Additional honey and hot sauce (optional, for tossing shredded pork)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork: Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder or butt. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create the marinade. Marinate the pork in this mixture for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to maximize flavor infusion.
- Cook the Pork: Slow-cook the marinated pork either in a slow cooker set on low for 6 to 8 hours or in an oven preheated to 325°F (165°C) for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is fall-apart tender and shreds easily.
- Shred and Sauce the Meat: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork finely. Toss the shredded pork with reserved marinade and add a little extra honey and hot sauce if you prefer a spicier flavor.
- Prepare the Grilled Onions and Flatbread: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and grill them until caramelized and tender, about 10-15 minutes. Warm your flatbreads slightly by heating them in a pan or oven to make them soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay fresh lettuce and cucumber slices on each flatbread. Pile on a generous amount of the juicy shredded pork, top with grilled onions, and finish with a drizzle of spicy mustard sauce. Wrap tightly and serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinate longer for deeper flavor penetration into the pork.
- Use low and slow cooking methods to break down connective tissue for tender, juicy meat.
- Warming flatbreads prevents cracking and improves wrap flexibility.
- Don’t skip the spicy mustard sauce—it adds essential tang and balances richness.
- Use fresh vegetables for a refreshing crunch contrast.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus 4+ hours marinating)
