Ingredients
Instructions
- Season and grill the chicken. Rub the chicken with the cumin, chili powder, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes per side, until cooked through (165°F / 74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
- Make the slaw. In a bowl, combine the cabbage and carrot. Toss with the vinegar, lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Warm the tortillas. Heat them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in the oven.
- Assemble the tacos. Add sliced chicken and a spoonful of pinto beans to each tortilla. Top with slaw, and garnish with cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges if you like.
