Assembling a taco is a very personal thing so I'm not going to tell you how to make yours, but here's how I do mine:
1 min
- 8.
I preheat the oven to 350°F. I wrap my tortillas in foil with the dry herbs and stick them in the oven.
10 min

I get my warm tortilla, put down a layer of avocado slices, then a layer of pork, and then spoon on the epic slaw. I wrap it up and there's no holding back. So get in there like a shot of tequila and make a mess!
