Taco Filling

Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add your choice of chicken, pork, or brisket. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat and cook until fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes for chicken and pork, and 10-15 minutes for brisket. Shred the meat once cooked and set aside.

Make the Slaw
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, and toss until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Pickled Onions

Pickle the Onions
In a small saucepan, combine the sliced red onion, white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.

Assemble the Tacos
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable. For each taco, layer the shredded meat, a generous scoop of slaw, and a few pickled onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
