Cooking together is a wonderful way to cultivate confidence in the kitchen, try new ingredients, and enjoy the beauty of creating something nourishing. The rhythmic chopping, stirring, and assembling of ingredients can also have a calming effect, helping us feel present and grounded. So, let’s get cookin’, gardeners! 🌱✨ (Read more about the 3 C's of gardening)
🌮 Ingredients:
Flour tortillas (we charred ours on the burner—this technique is for grown-up, experienced gardeners only!)
Chicken (we air-fried ours with a spicy rub and a drizzle of hot sauce, but you can use grilled or baked chicken)
Queso fresco or cotija cheese, crumbled
Thinly sliced radishes
Shredded red cabbage
Chunks of avocado
Salsa verde
Pomegranate seeds (for a fun, tart pop of flavor!)
Hot sauce (optional)
Fresh lime wedges (for drizzling, optional)
🌿 Directions:
Prepare the chicken – If air-frying, season with your favorite spicy rub, cook until crispy, then toss in a little hot sauce for an extra kick! If grilling or baking, season and cook to your preference.
Char the tortillas – For a smoky, restaurant-style finish, carefully char the tortillas over an open flame (grown-up gardeners only!). You can also warm them in a dry pan.
Assemble your tacos – Layer your tortillas with the cooked chicken, crumbled cheese, radishes, shredded cabbage, avocado, salsa verde, and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds.
Drizzle and enjoy – Add hot sauce and fresh lime juice to taste!
The combination of crunchy cabbage, creamy avocado, tart pomegranate seeds, and bold flavors makes every bite a masterpiece. Not only do these tacos taste gourmet, but they also nourish our bodies and minds with fresh, wholesome ingredients. 🌸🌱
