This recipe via favorite family recipes blog, is amazing, and pretty healthy.  The best part?  It took like 15 minutes to make.  I just added some Lipton Spanish Rice and it was a meal.


I added tomatoes, since tomatoes make everything taste better, but it's up to your tastes!  I love all tacos, but these are a winner, and a perfect weekday meal.

Coleslaw:
4 cups shredded green cabbage
