Instructions

In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño, if using.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, honey, chili powder, ground cumin, salt and pepper until smooth and well combined.

Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix. Stir well until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing. Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning, if necessary. You may want to add more salt, honey, lime juice, or chili powder, according to taste.

For best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serve taco slaw as a topping for tacos, burrito bowls, nachos, etc. Taco slaw can also be served as a side dish, as an alternative to coleslaw.
