Island Tacos with Avocado, Mango, Macadamia Nut Slaw

Pin It


These tacos are super delicious and really easy to make. If you need to have dinner on the table in 20 minutes, this is a great meal. I made my tacos with shrimp, but you could easily substitute a white fish like Mahi-Mahi, chicken or tofu to make these vegetarian. I found some really great tortillas by Mission called ancient grains. They are made with quinoa and other healthy grains and are only 100 calories each.

Slaw

1 cup sliced red cabbage
1/4 sliced green onion
1 diced avocado
1 diced mango
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp chopped macadamia nuts
1/4 tsp salt
Pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.

Shrimp

1 lb shrimp (25 to 30)- peeled and deveined (or white fish, chicken, tofu)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Caribbean Jerk seasoning
Juice of one lime

Marinade shrimp in olive oil, jerk seasoning and lime for 5 minutes. Cook on preheated skillet until opaque, about two minutes each side. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Tortillas

8 tortillas (whole grain is best)

In the same pan you used for the shrimp, warm your tortillas. Cook tortillas on each side for about a minute.

Add 3-4 shrimp per taco and top with the slaw.
