Notes
Shredded jicama, cabbage or chopped broccoli can be substituted for the kohlrabi.
Vegetarian:
substitute black beans and shredded cheese for the chicken. Crispy tofu cubes doused in BBQ sauce are great, too.
Instead of chicken, substitute shrimp or pulled pork.
Add or substitute vegetables: chopped bell peppers, radishes, celery, cucumber, zucchini, edamame, pretty much anything you like.
