Carnitas
Shredded Cabbage
Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s Garlic Pepper Seasoning
Sliced Limes
Minced Purple Onion
Queso Fresco
Chopped Avocados
Mexican Salsa
Corn Tortillas
Sour Cream (Mexican Crema preferred)
Prepare the Cabbage:
Start by seasoning your shredded cabbage with a generous pinch of Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s Garlic Pepper Seasoning. Don’t forget to squeeze some fresh lime juice over the cabbage to add a zesty kick. Toss it all together until well coated. Set aside.
Warm the Tortillas:
Heat up your corn tortillas. You can do this in a skillet, on a griddle, or even in the microwave. Warming them will make them pliable and enhance their flavor.
Assemble the Tacos:
Now, the fun part! Assemble your tacos one by one:
Lay a warm corn tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Add a generous portion of tender carnitas to the center of the tortilla.
Next, pile on the seasoned shredded cabbage for a refreshing crunch.
Sprinkle some minced purple onion for a delightful sharpness.
Crumble queso fresco over the top for a creamy, tangy element.
Spoon on some zesty Mexican salsa for a burst of flavor.
Finish it off with a few chunks of creamy chopped avocados.
If you love creaminess, drizzle a bit of sour cream (Mexican Crema is the ultimate choice) over the filling.
