This juicy pork is slathered in a sweet and sassy Memphis -style barbecue sauce, then stuffed into pita sandwich pockets alongside a tangy Southwest slaw. The best part (other than the amazing taste) is that the pork cooks all day and is ready to go when dinner time rolls around... perfect for the busy chef!
