Shredded Pork Tenderloin Pockets

Tonight was not planned.  I was out of town for a few days - and this weeks meal plan went out the window.  I did however throw this together with a handful of ingredients, and about 40 minutes total - and it was fantastic! 

Shredded Pork Tenderloin Pockets
1 pork tenderloin (you know, the long kind in the meat dept at the grocery?) pick your favorite flavor - but preferably something that goes with BBQ
8 whole wheat dinner rolls (think "sliders")
1/2C favorite BBQ sauce (I use the reduced sugar type)
1/3C apple cider vinegar

Bake or Braise pork tenderloin according to package instructions (generally 30-40 min or until internal temp has reached "done-ness")...and again, I braised so trap as much fluid in there as possible.
Take tenderloin out and place on cutting board, shred.
Add 1/2C BBQ sauce and 1/3C apple cider vinegar to drippings in skillet.  Add shredded pork, stir to fully coat, and let simmer for 5 minutes or until hot.
Cut dinner rolls in half and squish them so they "hollow out"
Fill with shredded pork and serve with your choice of sides!
