Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup red pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup corn (grilled or skillet-charred preferred)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, minced (optional, seeds removed for less heat)
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, diced red pepper, black beans, corn, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, taco seasoning, and fresh lime juice until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
4. For best flavor, chill for 30 minutes before serving, or serve immediately if desired.
Notes
This coleslaw is best enjoyed within 2–3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
For extra depth of flavor, char the corn in a skillet before adding.
Adjust the spice level by adding more jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
