Directions for the Candied Jalapeños

1. Bring vinegar, sugar, and spices to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer a few minutes until reduced just a bit. Toss in the peppers and simmer 2-3 minutes. Transfer peppers to a jar. Bring the liquid back to boil and let reduce about 2-3 more minutes. Pour the syrup over the peppers and give a shake to distribute the liquid. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Let sit at least 12 hours.

Pulled Pork

1. Season pork with the cayenne, cumin, paprika, and salt. Place in slow cooker and top with apple sauce. Pour in the chicken broth around the pork. Set to low heat and cook 7 hours.

White BBQ Sauce

1. In a small bowl whisk all of the ingredients together. Give it a taste and season with salt until the flavors are pronounced for your taste. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate until needed.

Brussels Sprout Slaw

1. Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts (I use a mandoline) and julienne the apple. Toss together and set aside.

Tortillas

1. In a medium bowl whisk the egg and the water together. Stir in the tapioca, coconut flour, and salt.

2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat and put a bit of butter or coconut oil in the pan.

To Assemble

1. Place the tortilla on a sheet of aluminum foil. Top with some pulled pork, jalapeños, slaw, and BBQ sauce. Roll the tortilla into a burrito with the foil. Slice in half with a sharp knife and serve.
