1 Prepare the Poblano
Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/4" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.
-
2 Cook the Pork Mixture
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add ground pork, poblanos (use less if spice-averse), BBQ spice rub (use less if spice-averse), and garlic salt to hot pan.
Break up meat until no pink remains and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.Stir in BBQ sauce and 2 Tbsp. water. Remove from burner.While pork mixture cooks, continue recipe. -
3 Make Slaw and Prepare Lettuce
In a mixing bowl, combine cabbage, a pinch of salt, and dressing (to taste). Set aside.
Separate leaves of romaine for cups.To re-crisp lettuce cups, soak in icy, cold water, 5 minutes. Thoroughly dry. You should have about 5-6 cups total. Layer two lettuce cups for extra crunch and structural support. Lettuce cups are a delicious but messy meal. For this recipe, they can easily be converted to a salad. Simply chop romaine and top with filling after completing steps. -
