  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

  • 1 cup chicken broth or water

For the Flatbread:

  • 4 store-bought flatbreads or naan (you can use pita as well)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup cilantro leaves (optional)

  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

Make the Pulled Pork (if not using pre-cooked):

  1. Cook the Pork:

    • Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker with the onion, garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

    • Add the chicken broth or water and cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours until the pork is tender and easily shreddable.

  2. Shred the Pork:

    • Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

    • Stir in BBQ sauce to coat the pulled pork.

Assemble the Flatbreads:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the Flatbread:

    • Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet.

    • Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

  3. Assemble the Flatbreads:

    • Evenly spread the pulled pork mixture over each flatbread.

    • Sprinkle with both shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded cheddar cheese.

    • Add a few sliced red onions on top.

  4. Bake the Flatbreads:

    • Place the flatbreads in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are crispy.

Finish and Serve:

  1. Garnish:

    • After baking, remove the flatbreads from the oven and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce.

    • Top with fresh cilantro leaves (optional).

  2. Serve:

    • Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
