1
Prepare the Pickled Red Onion
If you don't have pickled red onion ready, slice a red onion thinly and soak in a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water for at least 30 minutes.
2
Prepare the Avocado
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Cut it into thin slices.
3
Prepare the Slaw
Combine shredded cabbage and carrots in a bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and toss to mix.
4
Chop the Fresh Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro under cold water, shake off excess water, and chop roughly.
5
Dice the Tomato
Cut the tomato into small cubes and set aside.

6
Heat the Tortillas
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn or flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

7
Create the Taco Base
Place each warmed tortilla on a plate.
8
Add the Toppings
Layer the tacos with pickled red onions, avocado slices, slaw, fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, and finish with a generous sprinkle of queso rico.
