Looking for a quick, easy and delicious meal idea? Look no further!

I love whipping up a big batch of these tacos for a super tasty lunch or dinner. While the ingredients seem simple, the flavours really come together to create a flavourful meal.

I like using prepared coleslaw mix in this recipe to speed up the process but feel free to shred your own cabbage or lettuce if you prefer. I also prefer to use whole wheat tortillas but use whatever you like! I've also enjoyed this as a salad without the tortilla and it's just a delicious.
