Serve on small (street taco) tortillas with cole slaw, and any sides you like. Vinegar based cole slaw is enough for us usually, but we add guacamole, rice, beans, sour cream and pico when we are hungry. We really like the small tortillas with this because you can pack a lot of pork and cole slaw into a small package
