Ingredients
Salad
- 1 bag (16 ounces / 454 g) coleslaw mix (tri-color preferred for extra crunch and color)
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 1 whole chicken)
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 g) black beans, rinsed, drained
- 1 can (15.25 ounces) corn kernels, drained
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded, finely diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, seeded, finely diced (about ½ cup)
- 3 green onions, finely sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 bag (9.75 ounces / 276 g) Chili Cheese Fritos, reserving a handful for topping
Chipotle Dressing
- ½ cup (120 g) sour cream
- ½ cup (115 g) mayonnaise
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice, about 2 limes
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo, just the sauce, not the peppers
Instructions
- In a very large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, shredded rotisserie chicken, black beans, corn, jalapeño, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, taco seasoning, and cumin. Toss everything together until evenly distributed.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, kosher salt, chili powder, and chipotle sauce until smooth and creamy.
- When ready to serve, pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Add most of the Chili Cheese Fritos (crushing lightly if desired) and stir them in gently to distribute the crunch.
- Just before serving, top with the reserved Chili Cheese Fritos for extra crunch.
- Serve immediately.
