Ingredients

  • 2 to 3tablespoons balsamic vinegar (no need to use your very best balsamico here)
  • 1/3cup olive oil, preferably extra virgin
  • 2canned chipotle chiles, removed from the adobo canning sauce and finely chopped
  • Salt
  • 1/2small head Napa cabbage thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 1large carrot, peeled and chopped into ¼-inch pieces
  • 1small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4cup cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 1/2cups coarsely shredded cooked chicken, preferably grilled, roasted or rotisserie chicken
  • 1large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1/3cup coarsely grated Mexican queso añejo or other dry grating cheese like Romano or Parmesan
  • 12 to 16 16 fresh, warm corn tortillas

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and chipotles. Season highly with salt, usually about a generous ¼ teaspoon. Add the cabbage, carrot, onion, cilantro, chicken and avocado. Toss everything together and let stand for 15 minutes.  Taste and season with additional salt if necessary.  Scoop into a shallow, wide serving bowl and dust generously with the cheese. Set on the table with the warm tortillas and you’re ready for some great roll-them-yourself tacos.
