- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 4 small corn tortillas

- 1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded
- 1 lime, juiced

Instructions
- Prepare the salmon by gently breaking or cutting the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces, ensuring it's evenly distributed for the tacos.
- Warm the corn tortillas briefly by either using a microwave for 15-20 seconds or lightly heating them on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to enhance their flexibility.
- Slice the avocado into thin, even strips, being careful to remove the pit and skin completely.
- Shred the red cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline, creating thin, crisp strips for added texture and crunch.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salmon pieces, which will help enhance the flavor and add a bright, citrusy note.
- Season the salmon with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, ensuring even distribution of seasoning.
- Assemble the tacos by laying out the warm tortillas and evenly distributing the smoked salmon pieces as the base layer.
- Top the salmon with sliced avocado and shredded red cabbage, creating a colorful and textured filling.
- Garnish the tacos with fresh cilantro leaves, which will add a vibrant, herbaceous flavor to the dish.
- Serve immediately, with additional lime wedges on the side for those who want extra citrus brightness.
