Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pulled Pork

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the pulled pork and chipotle-citrus BBQ sauce. Stir until the pork is heated through and well-coated with the sauce.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Cut the sandwich rolls in half. Layer the bottom half of each roll with a generous portion of the BBQ pulled pork mixture, followed by the smoked Gouda cheese slices, and finally the cabbage slaw.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Close the sandwiches with the top half of the rolls and serve immediately, enjoying the contrasting flavors of the smoky pork and tangy slaw.
