  • 1 jalapeño roughly chopped

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste

FOR THE CHILI LIME CREMA

  • 1/4 cup vegan mayo
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2-1 lime juiced
  • salt & pepper to taste

FOR THE LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN

  • 1 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the kale avocado slaw by adding all of the ingredients to a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Prepare the chili lime crema by adding all of the ingredients to a bowl (start with 1/2 a lime). Stir to combine and adjust salt, pepper and lime juice as needed.
  • Slice the vegan chicken into thin strips (unless they are already bite-sized) and place in a bowl. Combine lemon pepper and olive oil in a small bowl. Pour over the vegan chicken strips and toss to combine.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add vegan chicken to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until browned on both sides. Keep on low heat until you're ready to eat.
  • Heat tortillas over an open flame or in a pan over medium heat.
  • To serve, layer tortillas with slaw, vegan chicken and crema. Top with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges and hot sauce.
