Shredded Pork Tacos with Radish Slaw

You can make the shredded pork and radish slaw a day ahead or an hour and a half ahead. Then assemble, eat and enjoy!

Ingredients

12 corn tortillas, softened in olive oil or you can use crunchy shells if you prefer them

Shredded Pork Filling

2 cups Asadero or Queso fresco cheese, or Monterey jack

Shredded Pork Taco Filling:

1 ½ pounds Boneless Spareribs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 tablespoons green chili salsa

1 1/2 cups water

Place spareribs in a saucepan and quickly brown them, season with salt, chili powder and salsa. Cover the meat with water and simmer over low heat for about an hour and a half, until meat is very tender and shreds when you put a fork in it and pull the meat apart. This can be done the day before of just before serving the tacos. Remove the meat and use two forks to shred the meat apart.
