THESE SPICED CHICKEN TACOS WITH LIME-CABBAGE SLAW ARE SNEAKILY PROBIOTIC



These Spiced Chicken Tacos With Lime-Cabbage Slaw Are Sneakily Probiotic image

Cabbage and red onion offer plenty of prebiotic fodder for the probiotics in Greek yogurt to flourish. (This is the difference between pre- and probiotic foods.) Use the spice rub on tofu or tempeh for a plant-based option that also boosts fiber.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4 (serving size: 2 tacos)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup very thinly sliced red onion
3 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
4 teaspoons pepitas
Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
Sliced radishes (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring vinegar and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in onion. Remove from heat; let stand 15 minutes. Drain.

SLOW COOKER ASIAN CHICKEN TACOS WITH BROCCOLI SLAW



Slow Cooker Asian Chicken Tacos with Broccoli Slaw image

A slow cooker allows the chicken to get so tender, it just shreds apart while soaking up the delicious marinade. These are a perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy in a tacolicious bite! I use a microplane rasp grater for the ginger and lime. Makes 4 soft taco-sized portions or 8 fajita-sized portions! Enjoy!

THAI CHICKEN TACOS WITH CABBAGE SLAW



Thai Chicken Tacos With Cabbage Slaw image

This is from the BH&G June 2011 issue. I make mine without the fish sauce, but only because I am allergic to all things fish :( If you an have it, by all means do. It adds even more flavor to the dish. Do NOT skip on the cilantro or lime. These are the things that make this so delicious and brings an authentic flavor to the dish. I prefer to use small, flour tortillas myself.
