Instructions
1. Combine all
ingredients for chicken marinade. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour sauce
over- make sure to shake bag well to cover all sides of the chicken. Marinate in
fridge while you are prepping. I usually marinate between 30 mins-1 hour.
2. Cut up green
and purple cabbage. Place in bowl and pour cilantro/lime/vinegar mixture
over cabbage- place in fridge to marinate.
3. Place shrimp in
colander and run hot water over to thaw- this should take a few minutes. Then
remove tails. Place thawed shrimp in a bowl. Mix together shrimp
marinade and pour over shrimp. Place in the fridge.
4. Dice avocado
and place in the fridge.
5. Cook marinated chicken on med-high heat in a non-stick pan in a small amount of Olive oil to give it an almost blackened appearance. I like my chicken this way, if you don't cook it on a lower heat. Set aside.

6. I wipe off that
same pan then place marinated shrimp in pan on med-high heat. I cook
shrimp about 2 mins per side. Set aside.
7. Dice up chicken
breast. then place flour tortillas in a pan over med-high heat. Heat each side
for about 30 seconds. I usually do about 10 small tortillas in total.
8. Now you're
ready to make some tacos! You can mix the chicken and shrimp of just do individual
tacos. Place meat on taco, sprinkle with cheese, slaw, avocado and Sriracha
mayo! Yum!
