This dish draws on contrasting textures, much like the differences in political discourse and environmental concerns highlighted in recent discussions. The tender, roasted chicken represents the complex layers of governance, while the crispy slaw mirrors the urgent need for freshness and change in policy. The warm tortillas provide a comforting base, binding the elements together, reflecting the hope for unity amidst division.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a bowl, mix the chicken thighs with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  3. Place the chicken thighs on a baking tray and roast for 35-40 minutes or until fully cooked and golden brown, turning halfway through.
  4. While the chicken is roasting, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a large bowl. Toss well to combine.
  5. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
  7. To assemble, place a few slices of roasted chicken on each tortilla, top with crunchy slaw, and roll it up. Serve immediately.
