Let’s talk food. This recipe was inspired by one of my favorite paleo blogs. Ever. Period. Health-Bent is ridiculously awesome at creating amazing paleo recipes. And they are especially good at creating recipes that are based off of some of their favorite regular-people-recipes. Like a cuban sandwich. Health-Bent loves cuban sandwiches and they created this amazing recipe of a cuban pork tenderloin. It’s ridiculously amazing. I’ve made it. I know all. So I made my own little cuban type meal. It’s not as good as theirs, but I tried.
Enough about food. ENOUGH. Let’s talk about things that matter. Like how my kickball game got cancelled. What a damn shame. It was 80 degrees on Sunday and it is now really cold. Like snowy cold. It snowed. There is snow on the ground. I’m officially unhappy again. Not really, but I’m not loving it either. I need to be somewhere that it’s warm every day, all the time. My endorphins would be ecstatic. Ok, let’s be honest, I’m just unhappy I don’t get to check out dudes during kickball. Lamesauce.
OMG. I need to ask YOU a question. Yes, YOU. Well, you being the person who has purchased a PaleOMG shirt. Wait…you haven’t bought a PaleOMG shirt?!?! Are you high? They are like the coolest shirts known to man. They are stupid comfortable. I’m wearing the white tank top right now. No big deal. But I want to know, how are you liking the shirts?! Do you like the material? Do you like how they fit? Do you like the colors? And what about the headband? Do you like it?! AND, most importantly, what do you think of the shirt price, delivery speed, and customer service? I want to know it all. Lay it on me!
Crockpot Cuban Pork Lettuce Wraps
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 8 hours
- Total Time: 8 hours 5 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 1x
Ingredients
- 1 head of butter lettuce, washed
For the pork
- 2lb pork shoulder roast (or roast of your choice)
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 6 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 orange, juiced and zested
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper, to taste
For the slaw
- 1 head of purple cabbage, sliced to thickness preference
- 5–6 dill pickles, sliced lengthwise
- 5–6 tablespoons yellow mustard (the kind you put on burgers, not the powder)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Crockpot time!! Add your pork ingredients to the crockpot, No perfect way to do this, I just recommend topping your pork off with the zest and spices, but whatevs!
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- If you are making the pork overnight, put together your slaw so it can sit in the refrigerator overnight and all the flavors can meld together. If not, just make it right before and it will still be delish!
- Add all your slaw ingredients into a large bowl, using as much mustard as suits your fancy.
- Once pork is done cooking, use tongs to shred that guy!!
- Place shredded pork and slaw in a leaf of butter lettuce and eat it up!
I haven’t gotten my shirt yet, hmmm. Or my head band to rock at regionals lol. I will be sure to praise them when I receive them haha. Still waiting on this video, im just curious as to what you said about me?????
Lol because i haven’t sent it yet 😉 soon soon. Patience is a virtue George
You are out of headbands 🙁 This is what I need.
They will be back this week Brandy!! Just getting new ones printed!
I should not read your blog before bed!! I just want to jump through the screen and eat this… even though it’s almost mid-night. So sad.
haha guess you’ll have to make this asap!!
I love the shirt! But while I was driving in my car wearing it I thought it would be even cooler if “PaleOMG” was also printed on the left sleeve so when I have my arm out or near the window everyone would see your name! You’re that awesome!
I like the way you think Gina lol GENIUS!!
I love my paleOMG tank! It is super comfortable. I really like the material and how it fits. Also, it came pretty quickly which I was also very happy about.
Great Stephanie!! Glad you have been happy 🙂
I love the men’s size shirt! The material is super soft, which is awesome. The shirt is fairly long, which is probably great for men who the shirt is meant for, but I still enjoy it and wear it. It shipped fairly quickly to Ohio. I think I got it within a week. If you made a black tshirt in men’s sizes with the blue writing, I would probably buy that. I really like the colors on the women’s shirts.
We will see what we can do Stephanie!!
looks SO goooood. love lettuce wraps although boston/ butter lettuce tends to fall apart on me. but there’s nothing wrong with a messy plate of yummy taco filling and eating it up with a fork.
A.Greed.
Quick tip: If you have a stand mixer, put your cooked meat (pork in this case, but it also works for chicken and roast) in the bowl, throw on the beater attachment and turn on low. The easiest shredding you’ll ever do! Its like watching a miracle. LOL.
Loving your recipes. I made your Mushroom Gravy Slow Cooked Rump Roast a few days ago, delicious! Can’t wait to try this. Wish I could buy it for lunch somewhere.
That’s soooo smart Ramona!! Thank you!!
Thank you for another crock pot recipe. Those rock my world, I might have made the apple ginger pork 4 times. This looks yum and its next up!
Glad you are liking the recipes!
1) Health Bent is awesome, and this adaptation looks as awesome; 2) The shirt is great; speed of delivery fast; totally easy overall. Only complaint – somewhere I’ve lost the ability to fit into a large. This is my own fault. I refuse to be a medium and thus will shoot for largeness with a meatza tonight.
Come on Tom, eat your meat!!
Thought I was. Probably need to pick up an extra ‘tater here and there too.
I’m sure you look fantastic Tom. I just know it
