Taco Slaw – excellent for tacos! Recipe

Taco Slaw is a slaw designed for stuffing in tacos. With a limey bitter cream primarily based dressing, it’s a private favorite as a result of it pairs so effectively with Mexican flavours and does triple obligation – good hit of greens (cabbage wilts a lot!), juicy sufficient to fill the position of a sauce/salsa (ie much less taco fixings to make), and makes a pleasant floppy mattress for taco fillings to nestle in.

I discover myself suggesting this Taco Slaw to make use of in tacos so commonly, I assumed it might make sense to publish it as a separate publish. It’s really buried in a few recipes right here on my web site and in each my cookbooks, however I’m pondering particularly of myself right here that it might be useful to have as a separate recipe, for ease of discovering it.

So right here it’s! Assume – common Coleslaw, however lighter as a result of the dressing is usually made with bitter cream somewhat than mayonnaise, and there’s a stunning lime flavour to it that provides freshness and is a pure pairing for Mexican meals flavours.

Use it with taco fillings which might be items of proteins like Crunchy Chicken Taco Fingers, Fish Tacos, Chipotle Prawn Tacos, Baja Fish Tacos, Grilled Chicken for Tacos and so on. somewhat than saucy / shredded issues (an excessive amount of same-same).

With this Taco Slaw, it offers a incredible mixture of crunch in addition to “juiciness” so you actually don’t must go to a lot effort for different topping (like Pico de Gallo or Guacamole) as a result of the taco will get too messy and too “moist”. For instance, in as we speak’s Chicken Taco Fingers, I simply used a drizzle of sriracha and within the Prawn Tacos pictured under, it’s my easy pink sauce which is simply sriracha plus bitter cream.
