★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
- Pulled pork. Make your own barbecue pulled pork, follow my lazy pulled pork recipe using the crockpot. Or, your can find cooked pulled pork in the meat section of your grocery store.
- Slaw mix. I like to use a blend of red and green cabbage and carrots. Then I add bell peppers, onion and toss everything in a touch of mayo and vinegar. Seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Very easy. So yummy. Can be made ahead to save time.
- Buns. I love the texture and flavor of sesame seed buns. You can also use slider. Hawaiian rolls are another great choice and make an excellent little appetizer.
- Avocado. Sliced, ripe avocado.
That's it! That's all you need for amazing flavor.

★ Tips & FAQs ★
Heat and eat!
If you're using pre-cooked shredded pork with barbecue sauce, all you have to do is heat up the pork according to the package. You want to warm it just until it's heated throughout since it's already cooked.
Slicing Your Avocado
Here's how I slice the avocado—right inside the skin, then pop them out and add a slice to each slider.
Try minced slaw using a food processor.
I will sometimes prepare the slaw using my food process. I like how the finely diced texture holds together and easily layers right on top of the pork, making it less messy to eat than if you just leave it chunky.
It tastes good either way though so if you don't have a food processor, you can just dice the onion and pepper with a knife and use the slaw mix as it comes.
