Pulled pork sandwiches have many variations across America and now the world. This version includes a simple slaw and scratch-made dressing that uses sour cream and adobo sauce among its many ingredients. This sandwich is sweet, savory, spicy, and super messy.
The instructions are included to make a simple smoked pulled pork for the recipe. But you may also use leftovers if you have any available. The sauce is what brings this whole sandwich together.
Although you can use any roll, there is something that just screams for pulled pork sandwich rolls to be super soft. This allows the sandwich to sort of bind together while the juices run down your arms. Make sure to have plenty of napkins around!

Directions
Pulled Pork
- Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (122 degrees C).

- When cooked let rest for 30 minutes then pull the pork ready for the sandwich. Mix the pulled pork with the Warpig Smokehouse Original BBQ Sauce.
Slaw
- Combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. There is no need to add dressing as there is sauce for the sandwich.
Dressing
- Place in a large bowl the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, pepper, salt, sugar, vinegar, and adobo sauce. Combine well. Alternately this can be done in a food processor.
To Assemble
- Halve each bread roll. On the base add the pulled pork, the slaw, and then top with the dressing before placing it on the top of the roll. Serve immediately while hot.
