Ingredients
Slaw:
3 cups thinly shredded red cabbage
½ cup julienne carrots
2 green onions, sliced (green and white parts separated)
2 tbsp lime juice or rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
½ tsp chili crisp
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Tacos:
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 onion, chopped
5 Schneiders Cheddar Bacon Smoked Sausages, sliced into rounds
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp gochujang paste
1/4 cup of water
1 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
12 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
Sweet Sesame Crema:
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey
Directions
Slaw:
In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, white parts of the green onions, lime juice, sesame oil, and chili crisp. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. Set aside.
Tacos:
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, then the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and gochujang paste. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the water and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sausage is coated, about 2 minutes.
Sweet Sesame Crema:
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, sesame oil, and honey.
Assemble:
Divide the tortillas between plates. Top evenly with the filling and slaw. Drizzle with the crema.
Garnish the tacos with the green parts of the green onions.
Want to make it a little tangier? Serve with lime wedges! Sprinkle the crema with sesame seeds, if you’d like.
