  • 1 count lime (juiced)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toss the sliced onion with lime juice and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside to quick-pickle while you cook.

  5. 5

    Fill each tortilla with crispy pork, a small pinch of pickled onions, and fresh cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with extra pickled onions and lime wedges on the side.
