Combine coleslaw mix, Florida Orange Segments and cilantro in mixing bowl; season with salt and pepper to taste and reserve. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill tortillas for 20 seconds to heat through; keep warm. To assemble tacos, divide shredded pork among tortillas. Top with coleslaw mixture. Fold up tortillas; garnish with orange peel and cilantro sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately.
