Yesterday my family wanted fish & shrimp tacos. I researched recipes for a slaw and found one that I thought would go well with my seafood and taco sauce. It turned out great! Now I am interested to see if anyone has a good taco slaw recipe. What’s yours?

My slaw:
8 oz Cabbage
1/2 C Red onion
1/4-1/2 Cilantro
1 jalapeño deseeded
2T lime juice
2T oil
1 garlic clove
1 tsp Honey
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Taste, add Sea salt as needed

I make something similar for a Jerk Chicken Taco except I split the acid between lime juice and rice wine vinegar in a 1:1 ratio.

I also use julienne poblanos instead of jalapeños because the Jerk has enough heat to it. Throw in some julienne red and yellow bell peppers, jicama, shredded carrot and sliced green onions.

I'd say your recipe is perfect except you need pickled red onion, sliced really thin and no onion in the slaw.

I make my own pickled onions and add to the taco.

I like a creamy slaw for my fish/shrimp tacos, so I add a little mayo or sour cream, lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder and few shakes of Cholula

I do a quick slaw similarly for certain tacos and enchiladas:

Cabbage (in all honesty, I just buy the tri-color package)
Lime
Rice wine vinegar
Oil
Cilantro
Green Onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Will add a chile of some sort depending on desired heat.


El Salvadoran curtido is similar.

I've been wanting to make a Costa Rican Chilera sometime as well. That was one of the few things I really liked about Costa Rican food (besides the fruit).
