SLOW COOKER KOREAN RIB TACOS

Slow Cooker Korean Rib Tacos image

My slow cooker version of Korean tacos made with spare ribs, a recent trendy dish. The meat is sweet and savory! A perfect combination of Korean and Mexican tastes. Serve meat on slightly grilled flour tortillas or hard taco shells. Top with sour cream, salsa (a simple or fresh red works best), shredded cabbage, kimchee-flavored bean sprouts (drained), and lime juice to taste.
