Best thing is that these tacos are crazy easy to make, especially in a slow cooker. You just rub a pork shoulder roast with a blend of spices, and then slow cook until meat falls apart tender. Use a couple forks to pull it apart into tasty shreds and use the meat as a filling for our special tacos.

½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1½ teaspoons Kosher salt
- Combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together until sugar and salt is fully dissolved.
- Place onion in a jar or bowl (we like to use a mason jar). Pour vinegar mixture over the onions and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour if you're in a rush. Preferably, cover jar or bowl and place in refrigerator for at least 1 day. Pickled onions will last for a few weeks stored in the refrigerator.
