Instructions

Place sliced onion in the bottom of a 6- or 8-quart slow cooker.
Remove netting from the beef shoulder roast if necessary. Place it on top of the onions.
Sprinkle minced garlic over the beef. Pour BBQ sauce evenly on top along with apple cider vinegar around the beef to mix with onions below.
Securely place the lid on your slow cooker. Cook on LOW for approximately 8-10 hours until tender.
Once cooked, use two forks or meat shredders to shred the beef right in the slow cooker, mixing it with juices. Adjust seasoning with fine salt and black pepper as desired.
In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, avocado oil (or olive oil), apple cider vinegar, honey, cumin, salt, and optional chipotle powder. Mix well and refrigerate until serving time.
To serve each bowl, add about ½ to ¾ cup of cooked rice followed by ⅓ to ½ cup of slaw. Top with shredded beef and drizzle additional BBQ sauce over everything. Garnish with pickles and sliced green onions.
Store any leftover shredded beef, rice, and slaw in separate airtight containers in your refrigerator.
