Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 6 Small Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cups Cole Slaw Mix
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Basil Vinaigrette Dressing
  • 1/4 cup Hummus (homemade or store bought)
  • 1/4 Red Onion diced
  • 1 Roma Tomato diced
  • 1/4 Cucumber cubed
  • 1 Avocado sliced
  • 2 tbsp Feta Cheese

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl add coleslaw mix and dressing and toss. Set aside.
  2. Chop red onion, tomato, cucumber, and avocado. Set aside.
  3. In a medium size bowl, combine the raw ground chicken with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This works best if you use your hands.
  4. Then divide the ground chicken into 6 equal size balls.
  5. Pre-heat your pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Place each ball in the center of a tortilla. Cover with a piece of wax paper and smash the ground chicken down into a thin layer until it covers most of the tortilla. You can use a burger press if you have one but it definitely isn’t needed.
  7. Flip the tortilla over onto the griddle meat side down. Cook for 3 minutes then flip so the bare tortilla is on the pan. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the tortilla is toasty.
  8. Transfer the tortilla with the cooked chicken to a plate or taco stand.
  9. Add a spoonful of hummus to the bottom of the taco and spread from end to end.
  10. Place a handful of slaw on top of the hummus.
  11. Add the red onion, tomato, cucumber, and avocado to the top of the slaw.
  12. Top with a sprinkle of feta cheese.

Notes

The number of tacos will vary slightly depending on the size of your tortillas and how full you stuff them, but I usually end up with six good size tacos.
