3
cups
pre-packaged cole slaw mix*
2
tablespoon

2
tablespoon

1 ½
teaspoon
kosher salt
1
teaspoon

honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, chipotle powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Pour the applesauce into the bottom of a slow cooker. Using your hands, rub the spice mixture all over the pork, and place on top of the applesauce.
Cook on high for 5-6 hours, or until pork shreds easily with a fork.
Remove pork to a bowl and shred, removing any fat.
Strain the liquid from the slow cooker into a gravy strainer or fat separator.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, along with the strained liquid.
Add additional kosher salt to taste (I use approx 1 tsp).
To make the slaw, whisk together vinegar, oil, salt, sugar, and a small drizzle of honey until emulsified. Pour over slaw mixture and stir to combine.
To serve, fill each roll with pork mixture, and top with a spoonful of slaw.
Notes
If you can't find pre-packaged cole slaw mix, or you want to make your own, just combine julienned white cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.
