• 1 cup broccoli florets, shredded
• 2 carrots, peeled, shredded
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha {more or less for spice}

For the taco assembly:

• Tortillas or taco shell of choice
• 8 oz. bag of Sargento Chefs Blend 4 State cheddar cheese, divided among the tacos
• Cherry tomatoes, chopped
• Freshly chopped cilantro
• Red onion, chopped

Instructions:

• In a medium bowl mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion salt, oregano and salt and pepper and whisk. Set aside.
• In a large ziplock bag place the two pork tenderloins and pour the marinade over the pork. Close the bag and work the marinade into the pork using your hands. Refrigerate for 2 hours or ideally overnight.
• Once you are ready to grill the pork tenderloin remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before. Heat the grill to high heat.
• For the spicy slaw shred the cabbage, red cabbage, broccoli and carrot in a food processor. Place the shredded vegetables in a medium mix bowl and add the mayonnaise, sriracha and salt and pepper and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Once the grill is heated set the two pork tenderloins on the grill and grill the first side for 7 minutes, the second side for 6 minutes and then 5 minutes with the grill turned off and the lid closed or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145-150 degrees F. Once the pork is done grilling remove from the grill, cover with foil and let sit for 10 minutes then thinly slice the pork and set on a large platter.
• When you are ready to assemble your tacos place the thinly sliced pork in the taco shell followed by the cheese. Heat the taco for 10-20 seconds in the microwave or you can bake the tacos in the oven to melt the cheese. Garnish with the spicy slaw, chopped cherry tomatoes, cilantro and red onion. Enjoy!
