Tips:

When choosing pork shoulder, look for a roast that has good marbling. This will help to ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the pork shoulder in a covered Dutch oven over low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
To make the chipotle sauce, you can use either canned or dried chipotle peppers. If using dried peppers, be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
The sliders are best served warm, but they can also be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

These Caribbean Chipotle Pork Sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make party appetizer or main course. The pork is slow-cooked until it is fall-apart tender, and then shredded and tossed in a flavorful chipotle sauce. The sliders are then topped with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cabbage, cilantro, and avocado. They are sure to be a hit with your guests!
