The secret to a great taco is contrast in texture -- here, crunchy coleslaw mix (another time-saver) partners well with tender chicken and soft tortillas.

Ingredients

  • ¾ pound frozen breaded chicken tenders

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, plus wedges for serving

  • ½ teaspoon chopped seeded chipotle in adobo

  • Salt and pepper

  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed

  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. Cook chicken tenders according to package instructions. Meanwhile, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chipotle; season with salt and pepper.

  2. Top each tortilla with chicken, slaw, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Cook's Notes

For flavorful charred spots, warm tortillas over the flame of a gas burner, flipping often.
