Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the pork by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until tender.
  2. Add the pork, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, oregano, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  3. Stir until seasonings are coated evenly over the onions and pork. Cook the pork and onions for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through.
  4. Make the slaw by combining the vinegar, canola oil, lime juice, and sugar together in a bowl with a whisk. Taste and add more vinegar, oil, lime, or sugar if desired.
  5. Place the cabbage, cilantro, green onions, and carrots together in a bowl and mix well. Add some of the well-whisked vinaigrette to the mixture and toss until evenly coated. Side Note: You may not need all of the vinaigrette.
  6. Prepare the tacos by placing the cooked pork into the warmed flour tortillas and toss with the tangy slaw.
  7. Serve with a side of homemade salsa. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
