Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 large navel orange
  • 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 c. packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pork shoulder
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 1/2 small Head Red Cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 8 small flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove 4 strips of zest from the orange (reserve the orange). In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper, and orange zest.
  • Add the pork and toss to coat. Cook, covered, until the pork is tender and shreds easily, 7 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.
  • Thirty minutes before serving, make the slaw. Squeeze the juice from the orange into a large bowl (you should have about 1/2 cup). Whisk in the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Core and thinly slice the cabbage. Cut the carrot into matchsticks. Add the vegetables to the vinaigrette and toss to combine.
  • Warm the tortillas according to package directions. Using two forks, shred the pork into large pieces; gently toss in the cooking liquid. Fill the tortillas with the pork mixture and top with the slaw.
