Tip
Tip : The avocado-onion slaw adds creaminess as well as crunch, but for those who are not avocado fans, try substituting diced tomato or shredded lettuce in its place.Tip : If you have no chili powder or cumin on hand, substitute 1 3/4 teaspoons Old El Paso* Smart Fiesta* Sodium Reduced Taco Seasoning Mix in their place.
