Cocoa Habanero Pulled Pork

Cocoa Habanero Pulled Pork

Pulled pork with a cocoa-kissed kick. This slow-cooked stunner is smoky, tender, and just a little bit wild. Cocoa Canto adds deep warmth and subtle heat, while a splash of vinegar keeps things bright. Add buns or tortillas, and you’ve got a crowd-pleaser with serious personality.

Best enjoyed: Piled high with crunchy slaw or drizzled with lime crema for the ultimate sweet-heat combo.
