Kinda like fish tacos for people who don’t like fish or going to the store for odd ingredients.

- 8 soft corn tortillas
- 1 Pork lion (easy mode- get a pre marinated spicy or Carribean jerk one) or see directions for spice idea

- 1 tsp cilantro - chopped or dried (optional)
- 1/2 tsp old bay or seafood seasoning if you have it.
Directions

- —slaw—
- Mix apple cider vinegar, red cooking wine, jalapeño juice and taco or fajita seasoning in a bowl.

- Slice Brussels sprouts from the top across the leaves and pull apart into shreds or slice cabbage as you would taco lettuce.
- Mix in bowl and let sit in fridge
- —sauce—
- Mix the ingredients above well and let sit for a few hours in fridge before using.
- After 8 hours remove pork from slow cooker and use a fork to shred into strings.
- Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 45 seconds to warm and soften.
- Take tortillas and spread with sauce then add Mexican cheese, pork and slaw. More sauce on top if you want.
