Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Red Onions

    In a bowl, combine the sliced red onions, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    In a slow cooker, add the pork shoulder and season with taco seasoning. Pour in the pineapple vinegar. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and shreds easily.

  3. 3

    Make the Cabbage Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, grated carrot, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas. Fill each tortilla with shredded pork, top with cabbage slaw, and pickled red onions. Serve immediately.
