Make the cabbage salad topping
To a medium bowl add the shredded cabbage and sprinkle over the salt. Use your hands to massage the cabbage with the salt for a few minutes - this helps to just slightly soften the cabbage.
To the cabbage add all of the remaining ingredients (pepper, olives, feta, dill, olive oil, red wine vinegar and dried oregano) and toss well. Set aside in the fridge.
Make the tacos
Mix together the ground chicken, grated onion, pressed garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon zest, minced basil, minced mint and jalapeno.
Press 2 tbsp of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla, making sure it’s as thin as possible so it cooks quickly
Once hot, add 1 tbsp avocado oil to a cast iron or regular skillet and use a paper towel to swoosh it around the pan. Heat over medium heat. Once hot, place the tortilla chicken side down. Flatten / smash it into the pan using a flat surface (ie. bottom of a small pot or frying pan, metal flipper).
Cook until well browned and cook through, about 4-6 minutes and then flip, cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165F).
Remove from the pan and cook the remaining tortillas. **Only add more oil if the chicken starts to stick to the pan**
Serve topped with tzatziki, cabbage salad, pickled onions and crumbled feta cheese.
