Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning blend for the avocado slices.
  2. Season the avocado: Gently toss the peeled and sliced avocado in the seasoning mixture, ensuring each slice is evenly coated for enhanced flavor.
  3. Warm the tortillas: Heat the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable, or warm them in the microwave for about 20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
  4. Assemble the tacos: On each warm tortilla, layer shredded red cabbage, the seasoned avocado slices, finely diced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced jalapeño if desired, and chopped fresh cilantro for freshness.
  5. Add the creamy topping: Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt on top of the assembled ingredients to add creaminess and balance the flavors.
  6. Finish with lime: Just before serving, squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco to add a bright, tangy finish.
  7. Serve immediately: Enjoy the tacos while the tortillas are warm and the avocado is fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra protein and texture, add black beans or grilled corn to the tacos.
  • To make this recipe vegan, substitute the sour cream or Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives and omit the feta cheese or use vegan cheese.
