Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Make the apple slaw
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.
- Peel the apple, if desired. Core and cut the apple into matchsticks.
In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, apple, and coleslaw dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2
Toast the buns; cook your protein
- Set aside half the barbacoa glaze for serving.
In a large frying pan, place the buns, cut sides down, and cook over medium-high heat until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven. Transfer to a plate.
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil to the pan and warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring once or twice, until it begins to crisp around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in up to half the barbacoa glaze to taste (see Chef’s Tip). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Place the bun bottoms, cut sides up, on individual plates. Top with your protein and some of the apple slaw and garnish with as many jalapeños as you like. Close with the bun tops. Serve the remaining slaw and barbacoa glaze on the side.
