Ready in under an hour, these tacos are super simple but full of big flavor. A quick sauce for the chicken gets heat from jalapeño peppers and more depth of flavor from chili powder, cumin and garlic. The cooling crunch from cabbage in the filling and creamy goat cheese contrast the spice well, while the lime adds a bright and flavorful finish. Pick up a rotisserie chicken and shred it to knock 30 minutes off the cook time. Serve with some brown rice and black beans for a full plate. If more spice is needed, add some canned chipotles en adobo, chopped serrano peppers, or cayenne into the tomato sauce while it reduces.
