Notes
- Not close to a Trader Joe's? No problem. Swab the greens for your favorite slaw mix and add a crunchy element like pepitas or crispy onions in place of the jalapeños.
- This is best served right away, but if you want to make it ahead of time, leave off the avocado and jalapeños until right before serving.
