GRILLED MAHI MAHI TACO, RED CABBAGE SLAW, TOMATO AVOCADO SALSA,
Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos With Red Cabbage Slaw, Tomato And Avocado Salsa And Pineapple Hot Sauce is the whole name for this lovely recipe. Created by Bobby Flay for a wedding on FoodNetwork, and it was a big hit with all the guests at the wedding. I wanted to share this lovely recipe with you all. It took me about 3 hrs. to make this dish, but it is well worth it! Be careful when making the Charred Pineapple-Habanero Hot Sauce using the the habanero chiles, as it is HOT with 2! I would suggest only 1 if you don't like real hot and spicy.

CHICKEN TACO SLAW SALAD
This was one of my entries for RSC#13. The delicious homemade French-Salsa dressing makes this taco chicken salad stand out from all the rest. This main dish salad could be made earlier in the day and chilled. Or, if you prefer your chicken warmed, saute the chicken just before you are ready to eat. It takes very little time to make this satisfying meal for your family. Serving size will vary depending on your appetites. It will make approximately 2 cups of salad dressing so you may have some left over depending on how much dressing your guests like on their salad.

Steps:
- Brown the ground beef, onion and garlic over medium heat.
- Stir in taco seasoning and diced tomatoes with their juice.
- Simmer 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded cabbage and cook 5-8 minutes, until cabbage is tender. Stir as needed.
- Melt cheese on top.
- Serve either topped with Sour Cream and Tortillas on the side, or wrapped in a tortilla with sour cream.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and other vegetables. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the slaw more crisp and refreshing.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common, but you can also use red cabbage, savoy cabbage, or napa cabbage. Each type of cabbage has a slightly different flavor and texture, so experiment until you find one that you like best.
- Be sure to rinse the cabbage well before using it. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a light hand when adding the dressing. You don't want to overpower the flavor of the cabbage and other vegetables.
- Let the slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to become more crisp.
Conclusion:
Taco slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any Mexican-inspired meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give taco slaw a try!
