  • 1/2 tsp old bay or seafood seasoning if you have it.

  7. Mix in bowl and let sit in fridge
  8. —sauce—
  9. Mix the ingredients above well and let sit for a few hours in fridge before using.
  10. After 8 hours remove pork from slow cooker and use a fork to shred into strings.
  11. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 45 seconds to warm and soften.
  12. Take tortillas and spread with sauce then add Mexican cheese, pork and slaw. More sauce on top if you want.
