While tortillas steam, chop 2 green onions (optional) and set aside with the 2 cups shredded cabbage and 1 cup crumbled cheese.
Step 3
Remove tortillas from steamer and keep covered. Fill each with a handful of cabbage, a sprinkle of cheese, and a drizzle of red salsa and yellow sauce.

Top with chopped green onions if using, and serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing.
