Recipe Box, Slow Cooker Short Rib Tacos with Asian Peanut Slaw
This recipe is a combo of two of my favorites, Asian Short Ribs and Spring Roll Wraps
A few adjustments and you have a whole new way of enjoying these recipes in another version, a soft taco
A great way to lighten things up and cool things off in the summertime
And it’s easy peasy too~ let the short ribs cook all day in the slow cooker with sweet chili sauce and hoisin sauce, then remove and shred the meat
Make peanut dressing in a snap by combining these ingredients in a jar
Shake, shake, shake and it’s ready for action! Keep the dressing at room temperature to keep the peanut butter liquid. Toss with the slaw 1-2 hours before serving and refrigerate the slaw to meld flavors. Refrigerate leftover dressing.
Fry flour tortillas lightly in oil. Drain. Fill tortillas with meat, snow peas, slaw and garnish with nuts and green onions if desired.
This was a big hit with the guys, HHjr even showed up the next day to eat the leftovers and said it was just as good if not better the second time~

Yum looks great.
These look wonderful Jenna! We enjoy short ribs in winter with polenta but the slow cooker version with your tacos and Asian slaw looks light and delicious for summer, love the snow peas!
Thank you for the nice recipe and have a good week!
We are huge taco fans here… thanks for this!
I would never have thought of combining these flavors, but your tacos sound delicious. I have to confess to liking anything with short ribs.
Looks really good. I’ve been trying some different tacos too!
