With the ingredients below you can make 6-8 tacos.

Ingredients

750 g pork short ribs
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
½ teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder
Roasted vegetables: Onion, carrot, mushrooms, aubergine
6-8 Tortillas
Honey-soy sauce
2 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

In a medium bowl combine the honey, soy sauce, pepper and garlic.
Season the ribs from both sides with the sauce using a brush.
Place them in a sealed container or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 hours or over-night.
Place the ribs in the slow cooker vertically (see picture below), so they will cook evenly.
Cook in HIGH for 4 hours.
When the ribs are almost ready, pre-heat the oven to 200ºC and roast the vegetables.
Roasted vegetables: Place sliced vegetables on a baking tray, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes at 200ºC.
When the ribs are ready remove them from the slow cooker and place them on the baking tray (move the vegetables to one side).
Honey-soy sauce: In a medium bowl combine the honey, soy sauce, pepper, garlic and the liquid from the slow cooker.
Brush the ribs from both sides with the sauce. Bake for 15 minutes at 200-220ºC.Open the oven and brush the ribs (just the upper-meaty part) every 5 minutes, so 3 times in total. This will create an amazing caramelized layer.
Allow the ribs to cool and rest for 2-3 minutes and remove the bones. They will fall off easily.
Assembly tacos: Place some meat in a warm tortilla, add some roasted vegetables and one tablespoon guacamole. Serve warm and enjoy!
