Cilantro Lime Slaw

Step 1

Shred and measure your cabbage. I love using a combinagtion or green and red cabbge when I have both handy but using all green or all red works too! The thinner you can slice/shave it the better it will be for topping. This can be done with a chefs knife, a box grater, or even a mandolin.

Step 2

Remove the stem from the jalapeno and cut in half. Scoop out the seeds and insides from the jalapeño with a spoon for a milder slaw or add some of the seeds back in for a spicier slaw. Finely mince or slice the pepper and combine witht the slaw in a medium/small bowl.

Step 3

Start with 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar and the juice of half a lime. Season with salt, sweeten slightly with honey, and add your chopped cilantro leaves.

Step 4

Mix well and let it sit for a few minutes. Taste the slaw and add extra of any of the ingredients to taste. I like to add extra cilantro to mine!

Step 5

The jalapeño and it's seeds will control the heat, honey will control the sweetness, and vinegar/lime juice will control the zestiness of the slaw. If you every go overboard with any one particular add-in, extra shredded cabbage can be added to even it out so don't fret and have fun wiht it!

Step 6

Allow the slaw to sit and marinate while you prep your tacos and load them up with as much slaw as your heart desires. Enjoy!
