Test Kitchen Tip

Also known as purple cabbage, red kraut, or blue kraut, red cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable. It contains nearly twice the amount of vitamin C as green cabbage, and contains glucosinolate, a compound that activates the body’s detoxification system. You can shred part of a head of red cabbage for the slaw, or you can buy it preshredded at the market.

Instructions

For the onions, heat lime juice, salt, and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl in microwave until sugar dissolves, 20 seconds. Add onion and jalapeño and let stand 20 minutes; drain before serving.

For the chicken, combine chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper; rub on chicken to coat.

Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium-high until shimmering. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side; cool slightly, then shred into large pieces.

For the slaw, whisk together oil, lime juice, Dijon, honey, and cumin; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. Toss cabbage, radishes, and cilantro with vinaigrette.

Divide slaw and chicken among tortillas. Serve tacos with pickled onions and jalapeños and crema.

Statistics

Statistics

  • Average: 5.00
  • Standardized Average: 5.00
    This is the average rating for this recipe, relative to the average rating of all of the recipes on this site. The average rating of all the recipes on this site is 73.15. If we pin the population average to 3 (define 3 as the new 73.15) and adjust this particular recipe's average accordingly, we see that, relative to a population average of 3, this recipe's adjusted standardized average is 5.00. This number is useful in that it accounts for how different people have different interpretations of the rating system.
  • Median: 5
    This is the rating that is in the middle of the ratings distribution. It is generally more indicative of how much you will actually like this recipe than the average because the average is subject to being skewed by outliers.
  • Mode: 5
    This is the most common rating that people have given this recipe.
  • Standard Deviation: None
    This is a measure of how polarizing the recipe is; how much people disagree about it.
    0 is the least polarizing; everyone agrees on the rating.
    2.5 is the most polarizing.
    Recipes with lower standard deviations in the ratings are better for people who don't want surprises. Higher standard deviations are good for adventurous cooks. There is no standard deviation for this recipe because it has fewer than 2 ratings so far.
