Marinate the Chicken:

- 2 Tbsp lime juice (juice from one lime)
- 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (grated, or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar (or pure maple syrup)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Add to a large Ziploc bag or a large bowl. Close the bag or cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for one hour or longer (up to overnight).
Make the Coleslaw:
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1 small red bell pepper (seeded and chopped)
- 1/4 cup almonds (slivered, toasted if desired)
- 2 Tbsp sesame seeds (or sunflower seeds, toasted if desired)
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Add to a large bowl and stir to combine. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Make the Relish Topping:
- 3 green onions (sliced)
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Tbsp lime juice (juice from half of a large lime)
- 3 tsp rice wine vinegar
Add to a small bowl, stir to combine, and then let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Preheat the Grill
Make the Spicy Sauce (for topping):
- 2 Tbsp Thai chili garlic paste
- 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar (or pure maple syrup)
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sriracha
Add to a small bowl or mason jar and stir or shake to combine. Set aside until serving.
Grill the Chicken and Tortillas:
- 8 corn tortillas
Remove the chicken from the marinade (and discard marinade) and place directly on the grill grates. Grill for 10-15 minutes until browned and cooked through (if you have a meat thermometer, the internal chicken temperature should be at least 160 degrees).
In the last 3 minutes of grilling time for the chicken, place the tortillas on the grill until warm and lightly toasted.
When the chicken is done, let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the Tacos:
Serve the tacos filled with sliced cooked chicken, coleslaw, a spoonful of relish and a drizzle of the spicy sauce.
Serve and Enjoy!
