A simple cabbage upgrade for weeknight tacos
The Weeknight Taco Upgrade Is in the Cabbage
When dinner needs to happen quickly, I focus less on the filling and more on the topping. A handful of thin-sliced cabbage, lime juice, salt, and a little chopped cilantro turns leftover chicken, beans, or roasted vegetables into something that feels deliberate.
Crisp Lime-Cabbage Slaw Makes Leftover Tacos Taste Fresh The cabbage stays crisp, costs very little, and takes about two minutes. I usually warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet, add the filling, then finish with the slaw and whatever salsa is open in the refrigerator. Simple, but muy importante: texture keeps a fast meal from tasting like an assembly line.
