  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin Adds earthiness; substitute with coriander for a different spin.
For the Dressing
  • 1 cup sour cream Creates a creamy base for the dressing.
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Imparts creaminess; vegan mayo works wonderfully.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, rinsed black beans, thoroughly drained corn kernels, finely chopped jalapeño, diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped fresh cilantro. Toss gently to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, freshly squeezed lime juice, and chipotle sauce until smooth and creamy.
  3. Slowly pour the creamy dressing over the slaw mixture, using a spatula to gently fold it into the vegetables.
  4. Fold in most of the Chili Cheese Fritos to evenly distribute them throughout the slaw. Reserve a handful for garnishing on top.
  5. Transfer the slaw to a serving dish or large bowl, topping it with the reserved Fritos for extra crunch and flair. Serve immediately.
