    In medium bowl, mix Pickled Slaw ingredients; set aside.
  • 3
    In small bowl, mix Sriracha Mayonnaise ingredients. Divide pork among tortillas, and top each with slaw, using slotted spoon. Top with mayonnaise, chiles, cilantro and cucumber.

  • Look for pork cutlets in the meat/butcher shop section of the supermarket; they typically are thinly sliced, tenderized pieces of loin meat. If you have trouble locating, simply buy a small piece of pork loin, slice thinly, and pound with a meat mallet until thin and tenderized.
