Pulled Pork Sandwich with California Avocado Slaw

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut pork into 3-inch cubes.
Place the pork in a heavy bottom pot (or a Dutch oven) and add the bacon, BBQ sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper.
Over medium heat, stir as the liquid comes up to a simmer.
Cover and cook in the oven for 2-2 1/2 hours, until pork is falling apart.
Using two forks, shred the meat and stir in vinegar.
Place even amounts of pulled pork on the bottom of each sandwich bun and top with California Avocado Slaw.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
