Cooking Light's Ancho Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Slaw and Avocado Cream. [Photograph: Oxmoor House] As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Cooking Light The Complete Quick Cook to give away this week.
These Ancho Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Slaw and Avocado Cream from Bruce Weinstein's and Mark Scarbrough's Cooking Light The Complete Quick Cook aren't quite as quick as opening up that yellow taco dinner box complete with hard shells and seasoning packet, but they're certainly worth the ten minutes of extra prep time in tastiness alone. Why you should make this: Because you deserve better than tacos from a box and these chicken tacos are nearly as simple to assemble. This recipe adopts two of Scarbrough's and Weinstein's great time savers: There's no shame in buying pre-sliced veggies when you're in a time crunch, and cooking over high heat is not only quicker but imparts great flavor.
