Cilantro Pineapple Slaw + Tacos

  1. Cilantro Pineapple Slaw: In a large mixing bowl toss together the cabbage, pineapple, onion, and carrots. Whisk the other ingredients in a small bowl and pour them over the slaw. Gently stir to combine well then cover and store in fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 48 hours also. 

Mushrooms:

  1. Combine the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until edges are starting to turn golden brown. Reduce heat to low and add remaining ingredients for the mushrooms and stir for another few minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated. Remove from heat and cool for a moment before making tacos.

Tacos:

  1. After the mushrooms have cooked scrape the mushrooms onto a separate dish and lay the tortillas a few at a time in the pan to warm them. Fill the tortillas with the mushrooms and slaw and top with chimichurri, coyo, and guacamole if desired.

    Nope, I haven’t seen the new Beauty and the Beast either. My family likes to see things all together as well, and it gets kind of expensive to all go to a theatre, so we’re used to waiting till it’s well and truly out AKA on DVD (but that doesn’t make us any more patient)!! ? Usually this means we’re constantly trying to avoid spoilers online. I’ve heard mostly good reviews on Beauty and the Beast and I was so stoked to see it, but then I heard a couple of meh reviews and now I’m worried I’m *too* excited. ? Glad to hear your family liked it…maybe it’ll be great after all! ??

      Yeah, I heard it’s very similar to the original animated one but very well done so it’s nostalgic without being redundant. Thanks Hannah!
