I have done a couple of things when that happens. One time, I cut into small chunks and made Kung Pao pork and put it over steamed rice. Another time, I just cut it into small pieces and put it in the crockpot with BBQ sauce for a couple of hours. Oh, and one other time, I cubed the meat and used it in a cassoulet with a little sliced sausage and beans.
Your original idea sounds good to me, just cut it up and simmer it for a little while in your favorite sauce. Makes great sandwiches.

might even do an old fashioned sandwich filling - shred the pork, and add eggs, pickles, mayo/m.w., onion, etc. I still love that on a sandwich.

One idea is to use it in pork enchiladas. I do that a lot with leftover pork loin, or our favorite is a South Carolina Mustard pork sandwich. Reheat in a little Apple Cider vinegar and brown sugar with red pepper flakes to jazz it up. This is how I make my pulled pork sandwiches in the slow cooker.
Use a mustard BBQ sauce...This is our favorite.
