September reminds me of all things apple. Probably because it’s the month that school starts… well, for those of us who are lucky. Any who, I LOVE apples! In high school I ate a Pink Lady apple every day before field hockey and lacrosse practice and I still eat them quite frequently. I especially enjoy them in delicious desserts like Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars and a classic Gourmet Caramel Apple but they are great in savory dishes like this Chicken Cabbage Potato Tacos with Apple Pico de Gallo, slightly adapted from Summer Miller’s cookbook, New Prairie Kitchen.

The filling for these tacos is made up of chicken, cabbage, and Yukon gold potatoes. Yes, it looks very yellow and that’s because of the spice turmeric. It’s delicious but very yellow. If you don’t want your nails to turn yellow when you make this, be sure to just mix with a spoon or wear gloves. I know from experience.

The apples come in at the end with the delicious apple pico. It’s made up of a couple of crisp apples, lots of refreshing cilantro, onions, salt, and a bit of red pepper flakes for some heat that balances out the sweet.

This meal is the perfect balanced healthy meal. It’s got grains, protein, and lots of fruit and veggies. Plus, it’s also low in fat. You are going to love these flavor packed tacos that have tons of texture. Enjoy!
