Preparation method

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Combine cabbage, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat.
3. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then chop.
4. Brush scallions with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes, turning a few times throughout cooking time, to soften. Remove from heat, slice, and set aside.
5. Brush chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4 minutes, then flip and grill for 3 to 4 more minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
6. Whisk 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil together in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, then toss with grilled green onions and Granny Smith apple.
7. Stuff tortillas with chicken, bacon, and green apple dressing.
