Who doesn't love tacos?? These tacos had everything: spice, crunch, citrus, and avocado.... oh, and they were delicious.
When you slice the perfect avocados and it's such a magical moment that you need to document it. BEHOLD.
Opt for corn tortillas over flour tortillas for a more authentic (and healthier) result. The tacos become more pliable if heated in an oven or in a skillet.
Lime Cilantro Cole Slaw
Ingredients:
1/2 head of cabbage thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 limes juiced
1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Using your (clean) hands, combine cabbage, salt and lime juice in a large mixing bowl.
2. Stir cilantro, yogurt, honey, and pepper in a separate medium sized bowl.
3. Cover both bowls and refrigerate overnight.
4. Next day, combine yogurt mixture into cabbage mixture and toss together until fully integrated (tongs makes it easy to toss the heavy slaw).
5. Place slaw back in refrigerator until ready to serve.
note* refrigerating overnight allows flavors to combine and gives lime juice time to break down the "squeaky" texture of the cabbage.
