Ingredients (Serves 4):

For the Protein:

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tsp chili powder (adds smoky heat)

• 1 tsp ground cumin (earthy spice)

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for depth and color)

For the Crunchy Slaw:

• 2 cups shredded red cabbage (adds crunch and vibrant color)

• 1 cup shredded carrots (for sweetness and texture)

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (a bright herbaceous note)

• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (zesty tang)

• 1 tbsp olive oil (binds ingredients)

• 1 tbsp raw agave syrup (natural sweetness)

• Pinch of sea salt (to taste)

For Serving:

• 8 small corn or flour tortillas (soft and pliable)

• 1 ripe avocado, sliced (creamy and cooling)

• 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese (a salty, tangy topping)

• Extra Leprechaun Lava Hot Sauce (for heat lovers)

• Edible glitter (optional, adds magical flair)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Protein:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt to create a flavorful marinade.

• Add your chosen protein: chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, or tofu. Toss until evenly coated.

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the protein, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly caramelized (6-8 minutes for chicken or shrimp, 4-6 minutes for mushrooms or tofu).

• Remove from heat and toss the cooked protein in Hellbound Sauces Leprechaun Lava Hot Sauce to infuse it with spicy, tangy, and sweet notes.

2. Make the Slaw:

• In a medium bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, carrots, and fresh cilantro.

• In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, agave syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Drizzle the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. This slaw adds a crunchy and refreshing contrast to the spicy protein.

3. Warm the Tortillas:

• Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.

4. Assemble the Tacos:

• Lay each tortilla flat and start with a scoop of the vibrant slaw.

• Add your spicy, sauce-coated protein on top of the slaw.

• Garnish with slices of creamy avocado and a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese for a touch of salty tanginess.

5. Add the Magical Finish:

• Drizzle extra Leprechaun Lava Hot Sauce over the tacos for an extra burst of heat.

• For a whimsical touch, sprinkle edible glitter on top to give your tacos a magical, shimmering appearance.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

• Serve these fiery tacos immediately with your favorite sides, such as Mexican rice, refried beans, or a zesty margarita.
