Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups Green Cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup Carrots, grated
- 1 cup Red Cabbage, finely shredded
- 1/2 cup Green Onions, chopped
Dressing
- 1 cup Ranch Dressing
Cups
- 12 Mini Tortilla Cups
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by finely shredding the green and red cabbage, and grating the carrots. Use a sharp knife or a food processor for quick preparation. Place all the shredded vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine your ranch dressing with any additional spices or herbs you choose to use. This step ensures that the dressing is well-blended and ready to enhance the flavors of the slaw.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared dressing over the shredded vegetables. Toss everything together gently until the veggies are evenly coated with the ranch dressing. This mix should be colorful and vibrant!
- Assemble the Cups: Take your mini tortilla cups and fill each one with the creamy slaw mixture. Pack it in just enough so that it holds its shape but doesn’t overflow.
- Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the filled slaw cups chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve cold and enjoy the delightful crunch!

- Adjust Dressing to Taste: Feel free to add more ranch dressing if you prefer a creamier slaw.
