lunch idea- Baja Chicken Tacos

for the slaw

- purple cabbage (3leaves chopped)

- Carrots (about 1/4 cup)

- cucumber (about 1/4 cup)

- juice of 1 lime

- kewpie mayo (1-2 tbsp)

-salt and chili powder to taste

add the slaw to tortilla of choice ( I used carb balance tortillas), air fried chicken nuggets ( we like the Kirkland brand), cilantro, and queso fresco. I also added some avocado cilantro sauce on top 😁

... Read moreBaja Chicken Tacos are not only a delightful treat, but they can also be customized to suit various tastes and dietary preferences. Start with a base of purple cabbage and carrots, which add both color and crunch to your slaw. Consider using low-carb tortillas if you’re looking to reduce calories without sacrificing flavor. To elevate your tacos, look for high-quality air-fried chicken options, like those from Kirkland, or prepare your own spiced chicken at home. The key to enhancing the dish lies in the condiments; a drizzle of fresh lime juice and a generous dollop of Kewpie mayo can transform every bite. Don’t forget to top with fresh cilantro and queso fresco for an authentic touch! For those new to Taco Tuesday, this recipe serves as a great introduction to the versatility of tacos. You can try adding ingredients like avocado cilantro sauce or even experimenting with different protein options like shrimp or beef. With its balance of textures and flavors, these Baja Chicken Tacos are sure to become a favorite in your lunch rotation.
