Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

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

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. Stir in half the barbacoa glaze and 2 tablespoons [4 TBL] water and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, and more barbacoa glaze as desired.

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 on the side.
