Taco Slaw Recipe
Taco slaw makes great cabbage preparation for tacos, inspired by local taco truck chicken tacos that serve cabbage with cilantro for authentic street food toppings. This street-inspired recipe demonstrates how restaurant observations can inspire home cooking while the taco truck connection ensures authentic preparation. The cabbage and cilantro combination provides traditional flavors while creating cooling contrast to spicy tacos.

This is a great cabbage slaw for tacos. The local taco truck serves their chicken tacos with cabbage, cilantro, and lime. This is my attempt to recreate their taco toppings.
