1
Prepare the Beef Tenderloin
Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tenderloin for 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
2
Make the Coleslaw
In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with a dressing of your choice (mayonnaise, vinegar, and seasoning) and toss until well coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
3
Prepare the Avocado
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Cut the avocado into thin slices and set aside.
4
Slice the Fresno Peppers
Thinly slice the Fresno peppers for garnish. You can remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.
5
Heat the Tortillas
Warm the tortillas in a skillet or directly over the flame of a gas stove for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable and slightly charred.
6
Assemble the Tacos
On each tortilla, layer slices of the beef tenderloin, a scoop of coleslaw, a few slices of avocado, a spoonful of roasted salsa, pickled red onions, Fresno peppers, and a sprinkle of queso fresco. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
