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.
