Ingredients
1 bag (16 ounces) coleslaw mix
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 ½ cups canned corn kernels, drained
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
3 green onions, finely sliced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 bag (9.75 ounces) Chili Cheese Fritos (reserve a handful for topping)
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (from canned chipotles in adobo)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, black beans, corn, jalapeño, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, taco seasoning, and cumin. Toss well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chipotle sauce until smooth.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and stir gently to coat evenly.
4. Add most of the Chili Cheese Fritos and mix lightly.
5. Top with the remaining Fritos just before serving for extra crunch.

Notes
Add Fritos right before serving to keep them crunchy.
Adjust spice level by reducing jalapeño or chipotle sauce.
For extra freshness, add more lime juice before serving leftovers.
