- 4 6 x 3 3/4 x 2-inch disposable mini aluminum loaf pans (for wood chips, if using gas grill)
- 1 large white onion with skin, quartered through core with some core still attached to each piece
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro plus 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 small green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, sliced
- 1 bunch red radishes, trimmed, sliced
- Warm corn tortillas
Instructions
