Crispy Salmon Tacos with Cilantro Slaw

These Crispy Salmon Tacos with Cilantro Slaw have become my new favorite.

I stuffed some corn tortillas with salmon and slaw. And some crazy ass cheese sauce.

I have no shame. The cilantro slaw is so good – and avocado just gets in there and rounds the whole thing out.

Oh how I love the hell out of slaw.

This cheese sauce is not very typical. Well, it is kinda is, kinda not. It’s jalapeno-y, sharp cheddar-y and made with buttermilk. Oh, and I diced up a Roma tomato really, really, really fine and added it.

Why not.

I poured that shit over everything.

Little taco kids.
