My Smoked Pork Shoulder has always been one of the most popular recipes on The Wooden Skillet and so I had to come up with some fun leftover-pork-should recipes! This one is a favorite – it is simple, easy and so delicious!
Why You Will Love This Recipe

What You Will Need
- lettuce: feel free to use whatever lettuce you want!
- pork shoulder: whether you smoke it or make one of the following recipes (all of which are amazing): Instant Pot Pulled Pork, Slow Cooker Pulled Pork or Sous Vide Pulled Pork – pulled pork makes such good leftovers!
- corn (canned, frozen or grilled corn on the cob): I love the little burst of sweetness this gives in contrast with the flavors of the pork!
- avocado: because I can pretty much put avocado on anything!
- green bell pepper: this adds a nice crunch!
- fresh cilantro: feel free to omit if cilantro isn’t your thing!
- your favorite BBQ sauce: this really acts as the “dressing”
- ranch (OPTIONAL): I would highly recommend using a combo of ranch dressing and bbq sauce here! We have a great herby ranch dressing on the site and a dairy free ranch dressing recipe too!
- 1 lime wedge: just for that splash of acidity.
