Zippy Mexican Coleslaw

It’s very quick to make if you use prepared bagged coleslaw. I would recommend to serve it along side of enchiladas or tacos. It also tastes well as a garnish for turkey/hamburger patties.

Ingredients:

  • One bag prepared coleslaw (found where the packaged lettuce/salad is located.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin.
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion.
  • One 15-ounce can beans, pinto or black.
  • One diced tomato.
  • One can diced mild green chilies.
  • One avocado, pitted and sliced. Avocado is for topping.
  • Optional for Topping: Sprinkle top with low calorie grated cheese.

The first thing you do is rinse the beans thoroughly. Canned whole beans can be very convenient to use, but also have unneeded sodium. A good rinse removes up to 35 percent of the sodium. Add all ingredients in a big bowl, stir thoroughly. Place bowl in refrigerator and allow mixture to chill for about an hour so the flavors blend together. Take out of refrigerator and top with avocado and cheese.
