- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika

For the green apple slaw
- 3-4 green apples cored and finely diced
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the yogurt sauce

Place the pork roast in a large plastic container with a lid, or a zip-top bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade. Pour over pork. Cover and seal; refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
Mix together the apple slaw ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Mix together the yogurt sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed, marinated pork in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-4 minutes, until the outside is dark golden brown. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pork.
Fill warm tortillas or flatbread with cooked pork, then top with green apple slaw and yogurt sauce to serve.
