  • 1/3 /3 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 10 cloves garlic see shortcuts in notes, minced

Instructions

  1. Place all taco meat ingredients in a slow cooker or instant pot. Add salt and pepper as desired. For the slow cooker: cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is fork tender. For the instant pot: Cook on high pressure for 1 hour and let pressure release.

  3. For the Asian slaw: combine all ingredients and chill until serving.
  4. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the meat from the pot. Serve on warm tortillas topped with the Asian slaw, diced cucumbers, and sriracha mayo or Gochujang sauce. Squeeze with lime if desired.

Notes

  • I'm all about a short cut. Although I feel like most things are better from whole foods, there's no shame in using a short cut.
  • For example, I love fresh minced garlic but they sell minced garlic in your produce section. Same for ginger. Fresh grated ginger is great but they sell ginger paste in a tube in the produce section as well.
