2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
-
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
-
5 green onions, thinly sliced, divided
-
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, divided
-
2 cups finely diced cabbage, divided
-
1/3 cup soy sauce, divided (tamari or coconut aminos if gluten-free)
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
7 almond flour or cassava tortillas
-
2 tablespoons avocado oil
-
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
-
2 1/2 teaspoons honey

1 1/2 tablespoons water

Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix ground pork, ginger, garlic, 1/2 green onions, 2 tablespoons cilantro, 1 cup cabbage, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
-
Spread a thin, even layer of pork mixture across each tortilla, all the way to the edges. Set aside.
-
Whisk remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, water, and Sriracha in a small bowl; set aside as sauce.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place tortillas meat side down in the pan. Cook 3 minutes undisturbed until browned and mostly cooked through.

Flip and cook 1–2 minutes until toasted; flip once more for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Top tacos with remaining cabbage, cilantro, and green onions. Drizzle with sauce or serve on the side. Add chili crunch if desired.
