Ingredients
- 500g pre-made salt and pepper squid
- 6 small tortillas
- 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup carrot, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Preheat your oven or air fryer according to the package instructions for the salt and pepper squid. Cook the squid until golden and crispy, then set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the sweet chilli sauce and mayonnaise together until smooth. This will serve as the dressing for your slaw.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced red cabbage, julienned carrot, and chopped cilantro. Pour the sweet chilli dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat evenly.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 20 seconds each, until soft and pliable.
- Lay each warm tortilla flat and add a generous portion of the crispy salt and pepper squid to the center.
- Top the squid with a heap of the sweet chilli slaw and add a few slices of fresh avocado for creaminess.
- Sprinkle with extra chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious squid tacos with sweet chilli slaw!
