Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient | Grams |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | corn tortilla | 208 g |
| 1 tbsp | canola oil | 14 g |
| 1 tsp | ground cumin | 2 g |
| 1 tsp | smoked paprika | 2 g |
| 2 tbsp | lime juice | 30 g |
| 2 cups | green cabbage, shredded | 178 g |
| 3 tbsp | fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro or basil), chopped | 12 g |

Steps
- Season. Toss the sweet potato with the cumin, paprika and half the lime juice.
- Cook. Cook in the oil in a hot skillet until done and lightly charred.
- Topping. Mix the cabbage with the rest of the lime and prepare the avocado.
- Warm. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan 30 seconds a side.
- Build. Fill the tortillas and finish with herbs.
Charred spices and a sharp, crunchy topping make every bite taste seasoned.
Packaged taco seasoning is often very salty. The spice mix here replaces it.
Done when: Fish flakes at 145°F (63°C); chicken and turkey 165°F (74°C).
Fixes
- Tortillas cracking?
- Warm them longer and keep them wrapped in a towel.
- Filling dry?
- Add a spoon of water to the pan at the end.
Variations: Use lettuce cups to lower carbs.
Keeps: Filling 3 days.
