Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Mango Slaw are made with al fresco Chicken Sausage in Taco Flavor. They are loaded with fresh, sweet & savory toppings and are bursting with tasty flavor. This post is sponsored by al fresco Chicken Sausage.
My kids head back to school in one week from today. To say that I am excited is an understatement. While I love my kids, I really love my routine, and schedule. I also love alone time to think and plan out tasks like my weekly meal plan.
With school starting soon, I really want to have an edge on cooking meals that incorporate lots of nutrtious flavors. Eating a rainbow of foods that taste good and complement one another is important.
I don’t know about your kids, but my three are very picky. They won’t do most plain veggies unless I work them into foods they enjoy like pizza, sandwiches, and tacos.
Trying to make better swaps and add in more fresh fruits and produce is not too hard when you have an delicious protein base.

Tacos with Pineapple Mango Slaw
We are all about the sweet and savory in this household. If you too love to mix bold flavors that complement one another, this Pineapple Mango Slaw is perfect for your next taco night!
The best part is you can prep it ahead of time too! I love to make this slaw using canned pineapple (juices removed) and pre-shredded red cabbage. I prep it in the morning, and place it in an airtight container in the fridge. All day it marinates and helps the flavors to mary for tasty tacos!
