In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and the juice of one lime. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded pork shoulder to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper.
Cook the pork, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and slightly crispy on the edges, about 6-8 minutes.
While the pork is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the crispy pork on each tortilla.
Top the pork with a generous spoonful of the cilantro-lime slaw.
If using, add some pickled red onions to each taco for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Pork Carnitas Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Slaw.
