These Asian inspired five-spice shredded beef tacos with pickled cabbage and a spicy broccoli slaw is the best way to spice up your next taco night!
These tacos are full of flavor! They make a great week-night dinner – all you need to do is prep the pickled cabbage the night before. Then throw coconut aminos or soy sauce, honey, garlic, ground chili paste, rice vinegar, boneless chuck roast, and Chinese 5 spice seasoning (I find it in the international foods aisle) in a crock-pot. Then just prep the slaw and throw everything in a tortilla! I always use Siete Food’s [3] cassava and coconut flour tortillas.
