Ingredients
Homemade Pork Rub Mix (Optional but Highly Recommended!)
Homemade Keto Coleslaw
Step-By-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Pork Rub
If using homemade pork rub, mix all the spices in a small bowl. You’ll only need 2 tablespoons for this recipe, so store the rest in an airtight container for future use!
-
Sear the Pork
Preheat the Instant Pot to “Sauté” (High). Add olive oil to the pot.
Cut the pork roast into 4 large pieces (bone-in pieces will be uneven).
Rub the pork pieces with the seasoning mix, covering all sides.
Sear each piece for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned. -
Deglaze & Pressure Cook
Cancel the sauté function and remove the pork.
Pour chicken broth into the pot and scrape up the browned bits (this adds extra flavor!).
Add the pork back to the pot and pour ½ cup of BBQ sauce over the top.
Cook on Manual High Pressure for 60 minutes.
Let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes before manually releasing the rest. -
Shred the Pulled Pork
Remove the pork and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Shred it using two forks, adding some of the cooking liquid to keep it moist.
Mix in more BBQ sauce to taste. -
How to Make Keto Coleslaw
In a small bowl, whisk together dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, sweetener, salt, and mayo.
Toss with 1 bag of shredded coleslaw mix.
Chill for 10-15 minutes before serving for the best flavor! -
Assemble the Lettuce Wraps
Take butter lettuce leaves and add a scoop of coleslaw.
Pile on shredded pulled pork and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce.
Optional: Garnish with jalapeño slices, avocado, or shredded cheese.
Note
Tips for the Best Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps
✔️ Use Butter Lettuce – It’s soft, flexible, and holds the filling well.
✔️ Make it Spicy – Add sriracha, chili flakes, or jalapeños for heat.
✔️ Don’t Skip the Searing – This step adds extra flavor to the pork.
✔️ Make It Ahead – Pulled pork tastes even better the next day!
✔️ Use Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce – If keto, choose a low-carb BBQ sauce.
