    • Add sliced onion and bell peppers.

    • Cook on high for 4 hours (or low for 7–8 hours) until pork is tender.

  3. Shred & Season

    • Remove pork and shred with two forks.

    • Return shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with cooked veggies.

    • Stir in chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes (if using).

  4. Make the Slaw

    • In a bowl, combine pineapple, red onion, fajita seasoning, cilantro, avocado oil, and a pinch of salt & pepper.

    • Toss well and chill until ready to serve.

  5. Assemble the Tacos

    • Serve the shredded pork in warm tortillas.

    • Top with pineapple slaw, fresh radishes, and an extra sprinkle of cilantro.

  6. Enjoy!

    • Serve family-style for an easy, flavorful feast.
