Tasty Keto Pulled Pork Jalapeno Poppers with Spicy Mayo (Dairy-Free)

I think we’ve all asked ourselves at some point “what to do with pulled pork leftovers?” It’s true, most of the pulled pork recipes imply big quantities that cannot be consumed at once. This super quick and tasty recipe gives you a creative and delicious way to use your pork leftovers to prepare an appetizer. 

In this recipe, I’ve used cashew cheese for the filling in the jalapenos to create a dairy-free cheese. To make your cashew cheese even more cheesy, add a dash of nutritional yeast – it’s filled with vitamins and high-quality protein. 

On the other hand, if you don’t want to avoid dairy, you can use any kind of cheese you like for this recipe so go wild and do your own variation!

And to top your pulled pork, I’d recommend adding a spicy mayo. This will give your pork an extra kick.

And yes, I’ve included the spicy mayo recipe, in case you don’t want to buy one from the supermarket. Either way, this is an excellent way to make use of your pulled pork leftovers by creating a new and enjoyable keto-friendly appetizer.
