Ingredients

For the Chipotle Lime Coleslaw:

• 1 1/2 cups finely shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
• 2 tablespoons Duke’s Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle
• Pinch of kosher salt

For the Tacos:

• 1/2 lb flank or skirt steak, frozen for 30 minutes for easier slicing
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 6 small tortillas (street taco size)
• Finely chopped or micro cilantro for garnish
• Pickled jalapeños, chopped (optional)

Directions

Slaw Preparation:

1. In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped chipotle, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
2. Adjust the seasoning as needed with additional lime juice or salt. Set aside.

Steak Preparation:

1. Remove the steak from the freezer and slice it semi-frozen into 1/8-inch thin strips, cutting across the grain for tenderness.
2. Season the steak slices generously with salt and pepper.

Cooking the Steak:

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Cook the steak slices for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the edges begin to brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Warming the Tortillas:

1. Using the same skillet, warm the tortillas to soak up the leftover cooking juices, adding flavor. Heat each side for about 1-2 minutes until they are soft and warm.

Assembly:

1. Divide the steak slices among the warm tortillas.
2. Top each taco with a generous amount of chipotle lime coleslaw.
3. Garnish with cilantro and optional pickled jalapeños.
