Description
A creamy, zesty Mexican-inspired coleslaw packed with crunchy cabbage, sweet corn, black beans, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and taco seasoning for a quick and flavorful side dish.
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 freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 jalapeño, seeds removed and minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and taco seasoning until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
2. In a large bowl combine the coleslaw mix, diced red bell pepper, diced orange bell pepper, black beans, corn, minced cilantro, and minced jalapeño. Make sure the beans and corn are well drained.
3. Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Garnish with extra cilantro if preferred and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Drain the beans and corn thoroughly to prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
For extra heat, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add a pinch of chili powder.
This salad tastes even better after chilling for 30–60 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
