Ingredients

  • 20-30 wonton wrappers
  • 1 lb pork roast
  • 4 tsp liquid smoke
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cups broccoli slaw
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro roughly chopped
  • SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2/3 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ginger

Instructions

  • hours or on high 4 hours.
  • minutes before serving, combine sauce ingredients. Remove the pork from the slow
  • cooker, shred with two forks, drizzle about 3 Tbsp of the sauce over the pork and stir
  • to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
  • Lay wonton wrappers out on a flat surface. Put 3-4 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Spoon about 1 tablespoons of shredded pork into the center of each wonton. Top with 1 tablespoon broccoli slaw and some red onion. Wet your finger tips with the water, then pinch two opposite corners of each wonton together so they stick together. If they aren't sticking too well, then fold them over.
  • Place wonton tacos on prepared baking sheet in a single layer, not touching. Spray tacos
  • liberally with cooking spray. Bake 10-15 minutes until wontons get crisp and edges begin to
  • brown.
  • While the tacos are baking, place sauce in a medium sauce pan and whisk over medium-high to bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and allow to thicken until tacos are done baking.
  • Top tacos with cilantro and drizzle sauce on tacos. You can also serve the sauce on the side as a dipping sauce.

Notes

** wontons can also be place in a greased muffin pan, pushed down into the cups to create a wonton "bowl". Bake as directed.
** this pork is also good on a bun as a pulled pork sandwich, no wontons required!
