Ingredients

 

MetricUS Customary

 

1x2x3x

• 3 ounces ground chicken (minced chicken) - fat-free
•  
  125 grams broccoli slaw
• 3 medium tortillas
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 3 medium corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons salsa
• 1 tablespoon cilantro (coriander)
•  
  1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons vegetable stock (vegetable broth or vegetable bouillon)
•  
  3 sprays pam

Instructions

 

• Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the minced chicken breasts with 1/2 tablespoon of lime juice and seasonings in a bowl. Spread the chicken mince on a baking sheet covered in aluminium foil and sprayed with pam, and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes until the chicken starts to turn a light golden brown colour.
• While your chicken is baking, prepare your slaw. In a small-medium pot, set your stovetop to medium heat, and add in your broccoli slaw, 1 tablespoon of lime, vegetable broth, and a generous amount of seasoning. Mix everything until the slaw is evenly coated, then turn the heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until soft.
• I like to microwave my tortillas in a tortilla warmer for 30 seconds. I plate the tacos by laying out the tortillas, adding the slaw, then the chicken, and topping with a bit of extra lime juice, salsa verde, and cilantro. Enjoy!
