Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Apple Coleslaw
To begin making your Spicy Tacos with Creamy Apple Slaw & Crispy Sriracha Corn, first, gather all your ingredients and keep them ready for use.
Start by preparing the Apple Coleslaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned apples, cabbage, carrots, and thinly sliced onions. Add in the eggless mayonnaise, crushed black pepper, and salt. Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the mixture, giving it a gentle stir to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Once mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw while you prepare the crispy sriracha corn.
Step 2: Prepare the Crispy Sriracha Corn
Next, make the crispy corn. Begin by heating oil in a deep pan over medium heat. While the oil is heating, prepare the corn mixture. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, corn flour, all-purpose flour (maida), sriracha sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the corn is evenly coated with the flour mixture.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the coated corn into the oil. Fry the corn until it turns golden brown and crispy, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
Be cautious, as the corn will tend to pop in the hot oil, so you may want to partially cover the pan to prevent splattering.
Once the corn is crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 3: Assemble the Tacos
Now that the apple coleslaw and crispy corn are ready, it’s time to assemble the tacos.
Preheat your hard taco shells according to the package instructions or until they are slightly crisp.
Spoon a generous amount of the creamy apple coleslaw into each taco shell. Then, add a layer of crispy sriracha corn on top. For an extra kick, drizzle a little more sriracha sauce over the corn.
Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious Spicy Tacos with Creamy Apple Slaw & Crispy Sriracha Corn as a perfect party appetizer.
Serving Suggestions:
These tacos are best served as appetizers at your next gathering. To round out your party spread, follow up with a rich and creamy dessert like a Tiramisu or a refreshing Delicious Fruit Custard to end the meal on a sweet note.
Pro Tip:
For a twist on the flavor, you can add a dash of chili flakes to the coleslaw or a sprinkle of shredded cheese to the taco for added richness.
