Smoky Spicy Slaw

If you’ve got a head of cabbage sitting in your vegetable draw that is wilting away and not getting any action, try combining it with smoky hot spices.

I use this recipe any time I make homemade tacos.

The smoked paprika and spicy peppers gives a lackluster slaw that little kick it needs to be eaten by everyone.

Enjoy!
