CHIPOTLE COLESLAW

Spice up your BBQ sandwiches with my Southwestern twist on this cookout classic. Use fewer chipotles if you don't like heat, because this recipe has a kick. For the chipotles and adobos, buy the "chipotles in adobo" from any grocery store's international aisle.

SPICY CHIPOTLE COLE SLAW



Spicy Chipotle Cole Slaw image

Adapted from one of Emeril's recipes, where he did an episode with "crazy tacos". We like to make this and serve it in the fish tacos. I don't use Emeril's fish taco recipe, though. Instead I serve with Recipe #232309. I've change the propotions a bit and added some extras like cilantro and carrots. I really like the onions. Update 6/6/07: I made this tonight and measured everything as I made it, so I've updated the amounts (usually I don't measure, but just eyeball it).

1 small head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 small head of purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1 ear of corn, kernels cut from the cob
1 green pepper, diced small
1 small red onion, diced small (about ½ cup)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Chipotle Mayo
Apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine the cabbage, corn, pepper, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl. Combine desired amounts of Chipotle Mayo and vinegar and toss with salad.

If serving at a picnic, keep cool so mayo doesn't spoil! The coleslaw shouldn't need any more salt and pepper since the mayo is seasoned, but adjust if desired.

Great topping for tacos--also a nice side dish for any type of Mexican or Tex-Mex entree! Hint: The measurements are approximate- I usually make this without any. You can use green or purple cabbage, or a combination of the two. Same goes for green or red bell peppers. For extra heat, use an additional jalapeno pepper.
