I made this recipe tonight and it is...well...FANTASTIC. I modified the recipe and noted my modifications above. Ya gotta try it. At least try the grated cabbage tossed with lime juice and salt!! It's terrific and low-calorie too 'cuz there's no fat. We didn't add any cheese to the tacos. The cilantro dressing is amazing. It would be good on a bed of lettuce or a taco salad. Kinda fattening---but avacadoes are healthy, right?
