Description
A vibrant Mexican-inspired coleslaw made with crisp cabbage mix, sweet corn, hearty black beans, colorful bell peppers, and a creamy lime taco dressing for the perfect zesty crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz) package coleslaw mix
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/2 orange bell pepper, finely diced
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 (13.75 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (13.75 oz) can corn, rinsed and drained
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh lime juice, and taco seasoning until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, diced red and orange bell peppers, rinsed and drained black beans, drained corn, minced cilantro, and minced jalapeño.
3. Pour the chilled dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to allow the flavors to develop before serving.
Notes
Ensure the black beans and corn are well drained to prevent excess moisture in the coleslaw.
For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
This coleslaw can be made a few hours ahead; store covered in the refrigerator.
Serve as a side dish, taco topping, or alongside grilled meats.
