How to make Low Carb Pulled Pork Taco Wedge Salad

Rub the pork butt with 2 Tbsp. lime juice, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, cumin, garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, sear the pork on all sides and add 1-2 cups of water or broth to the pot. Place the pot in a 300 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 3 hours, or until the pork easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the pork from the oven and shred the meat, and set the meat aside.
Quarter a head of iceberg lettuce, and dice the bell pepper and tomatoes and set aside.
Add an avocado, half a garlic clove, 2-3 Tbsp. lime juice, 2 Tbsp. water, 2.5 Tbsp. cream, ¼ tsp. salt and ¼ cup cilantro to a blender. Blend for 10-15 seconds or until smooth.
Spoon the mixture into a small plastic bag or piping bag. Cut a tip off of the end of the plastic bag and set aside
Place the iceberg lettuce wedges on a plate. Arrange about 3 ounces of pulled pork over each wedge. Squeeze the avocado crema in a zig zag pattern over the wedge. Garnish with diced bell pepper, tomato and cheese, and a few pieces of cilantro. Optional: serve with sour cream, more avocado, and a squeeze of lime.
