Expert Tips

  • Time Saver! Packaged coleslaw mixes make a great topping for these tacos and saves you shredding the cabbage and carrots.
  • Top these tacos with other fresh toppings like sliced jalapeños or chopped green onions.
  • If you are assembling the tacos rather than letting people top their own, it is a good idea to leave off the cilantro and place in a small bowl on the table as a serve yourself topping. Cilantro tends to be a love it or hate it thing.
