🍽 Ingredients

• 1 cup, thinly sliced Napa Cabbage
• 1/2 cup, finely chopped Kimchi
• 1 medium, juiced and zested Orange
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
• Pinch Salt
• 1/2 cup, finely diced Red Onion
• 1/2 cup, finely diced Red Bell Pepper
• 1/4 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon (optional) Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 teaspoon Lime Juice
• 2 Taco Shells

📖 Instructions

1. First, let's tackle the kimchi slaw. Finely slice 1 cup of Napa cabbage. (If using pre-shredded, fantastic!)
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage with 1/2 cup of kimchi, finely diced. Don’t be shy; I like a good kimchi kick!
3. Next, juice half an orange—about 1/4 cup of fresh juice. Add that to the cabbage mixture.
4. Now, for some zest! Zest the other half of the orange – about 1 tablespoon. Add this to the slaw too. It adds amazing brightness!
5. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. I use sea salt; feels fancy, right?
6. Pour the dressing over the kimchi slaw and toss gently to combine. Taste it! Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
7. Lets' make the quick and easy orange salsa. Dice 1/2 cup of red onion really small. (Or you can use white onion if that's your vibe).
8. Dice 1/2 cup of red bell pepper and add to the onions.
9. Segment 1/2 cup of the orange and add it to the bowl.
10. Chop up 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro and throw that in too. It’s the perfect touch for some freshness!
11. In a small saucepan, gently heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a little heat (optional, but recommended!).
12. Stir in 1 teaspoon of lime juice and let it simmer for just a minute. Let it cool a bit before adding.
13. Once cooled, add the lime mixture to the orange salsa and mix everything together gently.
14. Now, let's warm those taco shells! You can do this on a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side until warmed and slightly crispy. Watch closely; they can burn quickly!
15. Time to assemble the tacos! Spoon a generous amount of kimchi slaw into each taco shell. Top with the orange salsa.
16. Add your favorite taco toppings if you like. I'm partial to a squeeze of extra lime and some crumbled cotija cheese. Nom!
17. Enjoy your incredibly delicious, vibrant Kimchi Orange Salad Tacos! (Seriously, they're amazing.)

📝 Notes

• For a spicier kick, increase the amount of kimchi or red pepper flakes.
• Feel free to add other veggies to the slaw or salsa, such as shredded carrots or jalapenos.
• If using pre-shredded cabbage, reduce prep time significantly!
