Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.
• In a medium bowl, toss coleslaw mix with mayonnaise, 1⁄4 tsp sugar (1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings), a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and as much lime zest as you like. • Set aside until ready to serve.
• Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Stir in salsa and 1⁄4 tsp chipotle powder (1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings). (TIP: Add more chipotle powder if you like things spicy!) Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and salsa has thickened slightly, 3-5 minutes more.
• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30-60 seconds. • Divide tortillas between plates. Fill with chicken, slaw (draining first), and cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

- Suggestions: Consider toasting tortillas for extra flavor; try adding pico de gallo, avocado, or a creamy sauce 🌮.
