Ingredients
  

  • 14 ounces coleslaw mix shredded cabbage and carrots
  • 15 ounces black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn thawed
  • ½ cup red onion finely diced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup corn chips Fritos style
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl For assembly
  • 1 Small whisk For dressing

Method
 

  1. Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and spices in a small bowl until creamy.
  2. Combine the cabbage mix, black beans, corn, and onion in a large salad bowl.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir gently to coat every piece evenly.
  4. Fold in the fresh cilantro and chill the salad for 30 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

Always add the corn chips right before serving to prevent them from getting soggy. Use a serrated knife for easy red onion dicing.
