Recipe Notes

The tortillas I used were really cute street taco size that I found in my regular grocery store, but you can use any size you like, your tacos will just be larger portions and wouldn't stretch to 8 of them.

You can use any mix of cabbage for the slaw, I just like the beautiful purple color of the red cabbage and the extra crunch.
