Holy delicious…that’s what my husband exclaimed upon first bite. He’s been my food critic all along this crazy blogging adventures, and every now and again we hit a winner. And he wasn’t the only one raving about these. Just looking at the photo now and remembering how much I enjoyed them is making my salivate. If I didn’t already dinner in the slow cooker, these would be on our table again tonight.
Adore the sweet n sour flavors. Adore the inexpensive cabbage addition. Adore the crunch and burst from the green onions. And adore how it all fits so perfectly into a warm tortilla. Holy delicious.

Leslie says
Is it tomato sauce or paste? Wouldn’t that make a big difference?

Hey Leslie,
Apologies for the oversight here! The tomato sauce is correct…we’ve updated the recipe and directions. Sorry again!

Thank you, Erin.

A huge difference, Leslie, and my question exactly. I’m guessing that sauce is the answer, but we’ll see.
mary says
Or maybe we won’t see. Evidently no one is around to monitor responses. What a shame.
Meg Matthews says
Im expecting its tomato paste as here in Tasmania, Australia, tomato sauce doesnt come in cans only tomato paste…….the amount also suggests paste……lets wait with baited breath.
Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom says
Hey Meg,
You can make tomato sauce with a 6 oz. can of tomato paste plus 1 1/2 cans worth of water. Hope that helps!
