Tex Mex Coleslaw

Fresh summer meals require fresh summer side dishes. This slightly sweet and spicy Mexican coleslaw is incredibly easy to make and a lot lighter than your average creamy slaw.

Tex Mex Coleslaw is a cool, tangy, and crunchy side dish and hard to resist. When it’s paired with bold Tex Mex flavors, this recipe is a must-make for every cookout!

I started this recipe with a bag of traditional coleslaw mix. You can add purple cabbage if you like. It would add a wonderful color.

Next, I added black beans, corn, jalapeno, cilantro, and green onions. You can add any vegetables you like to the mix. Bell peppers and red onion would be nice. Grilled corn would be wonderful if you have fresh corn. I used canned shoepeg corn.

I used a vinegar based dressing made of white wine vinegar, oil, sugar, and taco seasoning. The taco seasoning adds bold Mexican flavor to the slaw.

    This is absolutely the BEST slaw to use for fish tacos!! I never use any other since I found this recipe.

  2. 5 stars
    I love this idea! Seriously, this is great. Beans and corn ads nutrients making this salad so much more nutritious. I’m going to make this for sure. Thanks!

  3. 5 stars
    I would never have thought of adding tex-mex seasonings to coleslaw. What a deliciously creative spin on a classic side dish. So, tasty!

  4. Looks Wonderful.
    Half my family will enjoy and like this If I leave the whole jalapeno pepper, seeds & spine all in, to where the other 1/ 2 of my family will eat it if only I leave out the Jalapeno pepper completely.
    What’s a person to do; make both ways of course. 🙂
