Instructions

Make the Cabbage Slaw

Thinly slice the cabbage and place into a large mixing bowl.
Then add the chilies, oregano, salt and liquid from the chilies.
Mix until well combined and set aside.

Make the Tacos

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. You should have just enough oil to cover a tortilla.
Carefully place the tortilla in the hot oil and fry for five seconds.
Using kitchen tongs, flip the tortilla.
Immediately add the fresh cheese while the tortilla is in the oil.
Using kitchen tongs and a spatula, carefully fold the taco in half and fry for 10-15 more seconds.
Flip over one more time without letting the taco get too brown.
