1 tablespoon cider vinegar
4 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
8 (6 inch) whole-wheat tortillas

Steps:

1. Prepare marinade, combine the fajita seasoning, lime juice, and garlic in a ziploc bag; add beef. Squeeze out the air and seal bag tightly; turn to coat the beef. Let stand at least 10 minutes or refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, up to 2 hours. Drain marinade.
2. To prepare coleslaw: combine coleslaw/cabbage, jalapenos, and pickling juice, vinegar, green onions, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and saute until cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas according to package directions; keep warm.
4. To serve, place about 3/4 cup of coleslaw mix into each tortilla and top immediately with beef, roll to enclose.
