Mexican Coleslaw

Is there anything a side of delicious Mexican coleslaw can’t improve? Add a generous amount of this crisp cabbage Mexican slaw recipe to your tacos and you’re on to a winner. 

A much more flavourful recipe than traditional coleslaw, we simply dress our slaw with a bit of extra chipotle smokiness by making a homemade chipotle Mayo with Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste and a bit of our Gran Luchito Smoky Chipotle Fajita and Taco Mix. Add vinegar and extra virgin olive oil and then simply season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
