Cooking Steps
In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, vinegar, mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt (1 tsp each of sugar and salt for 4). Mix thoroughly and set aside until ready to serve.
Snip a corner of the packet and drain any excess liquid from chicken*. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; season with savory paprika blend, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until warmed and pliable, 30-60 seconds.
When chicken is done, fill tortillas evenly with coleslaw (draining first), chicken, as much salsa as you'd like, and sour cream. Divide tacos between plates and serve with chips and any remaining salsa on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Pretty tasty and very easy! I prefer these meals that are quick but still involve some fresh cooking, compared to the "15 minute" meals where you're really just throwing precooked things together. I do personally think the chips are a little unnecessary (I'd rather use them as a crunchy topper on the tacos).
I really enjoyed these. The flavor of the chicken was new and exciting. The slaw was a perfect accompaniment to the chicken in the tacos. I would order these again.
So great to try a new taco recipe, and we love chicken paprika. Turned out great and it was a nice weekday meal.
Tasty and quick and easy to make. Only wish they came with hard taco shells rather than tortillas.
The flavor was great but the meat proportions was skimpy. Not really enough for the number of tacos that it was supposed to accommodate.
These were excellent. A nice easy variation. I added Cilantro which was a perfect addition that I recommend you include.
These were delicious. I will get them again but maybe will not use all of the vinegar in the slaw.
Quick meal, tasty. The slaw was a nice flavor added a restaurant taste to the taco night.
Delicious - and really appreciate how simple and quick it was to prepare.
Quick and delicious. Restaurant quality food made at home. Thank you.
