Tacos with chicken and pickled red cabbage! But first things first – this is very nostalgic to me, because exactly 17 years ago my amazing friend and I (during one of our volleyball boot camps) were discovering first approaches to video recording. We were 14 years old and had NOKIA7650 on us. All these years later, I figured that this account has to start with a similar recipe. Thus, discover the perfect blend of rotisserie chicken and tangy pickled red cabbage in these delectable tacos. Indulge in the mouthwatering combination of tender meat and zesty crunch, delivering a flavor explosion with every bite.

Cooking Time: 30min

Serving: 3 tacos

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup rotisserie chicken 
  • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (can be substituted with ketchup)
  • 1-2 tbps sriracha
  • pickled red cabbage (or fresh)
  • coriander, for garnish
  • jalapeño paper, for garnish
  • small tomato
  • 3 corn tortillas

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Shred the cooked chicken and place it in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add BBQ sauce and sriracha sauce to the shredded chicken. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauces.
  3. Dice the tomato into small pieces and finely chop the coriander leaves.
  4. Slice the jalapeño pepper into thin rings.
  5. Warm up the tacos in a skillet or microwave until they are soft and pliable.
  6. Place a taco on a clean surface and add a generous amount of the BBQ chicken mixture onto the center of the taco.
  7. Add the pickled red cabbage, sprinkle diced tomatoes, chopped coriander, and jalapeño slices over the chicken.
  8. Fold the sides of the taco towards the center, then roll it tightly from one end to the other, forming a wrap.
  9. Repeat the process for the remaining tacos and ingredients.
  10. Serve the tacos with chicken and pickled red cabbage immediately and enjoy!

Note: You can customize the spiciness of the tacos by adjusting the amount of sriracha sauce and jalapeño pepper slices according to your preference.
