Easily shred the pork using forks.

Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat and add olive oil.

Once the skillet is hot, toss in the pulled pork and begin to cook.

Allow the edges of the pork to get crispy but be careful not to let it burn.

Stir and flip the pork in the skillet using a spatula or wooden spoon for about 6 to 8 minutes.

Once the edges are crispy, pour in the leftover broth from the slow cooker and reduce the heat of the skillet and stir the pork.

Remove the pork from the heat and garnish with fresh lime and cilantro to taste.

Enjoy the pulled pork as desired.

Enjoy!
