  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Chopped; parsley is an alternative.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, drained black beans, and corn. Add diced red bell pepper, finely chopped jalapeño, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, and chipotle sauce until creamy and smooth.
  3. Carefully pour the chipotle dressing over the veggie mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Just before serving, sprinkle the Chili Cheese Fritos atop the salad for that crunchy texture. Gently toss again to incorporate the Fritos.
