Expert Tips

The avocado-onion slaw adds creaminess as well as crunch, but for those who are not avocado fans, try substituting diced tomato or shredded lettuce in its place.

If you have no chili powder or cumin on hand, substitute 1 3/4 teaspoons Old El Paso® taco seasoning mix in their place.

    This recipe is delicious but the real star of the show is the avocado-onion slaw. That was one of the most delicious toppings we've ever eaten. I will make it over and over again for other dishes, especially when making a shredded pork to put into tortillas. As for the pork part of the recipe, it was very tasty, but there are better pulled pork recipes out there for sure. No matter what, you have to try the avocado-onion slaw.
