Instructions
1
Prepare the Protein
- In a large mixing bowl, add Aztec Gold BBQ Rub and salt to taste.
- 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.
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.
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.
