Notes

This recipe is for a smaller batch of Mexican coleslaw. If you need enough to take to a BBQ or a bigger group double everything in the recipe or even triple it.
If you are short on time you can buy pre shredded cabbage in a bag in the produce section.
If you want to add some additional items diced tomatoes, chucks of mango, or tortilla strips go perfect in this recipe.
This Mexican coleslaw is great to have alone as a side dish maybe for a gathering you are having or just your family dinner.
Making tacos, especially street style tacos? This goes great right on top in your taco.
Making a burrito bowl, add this instead of lettuce. A nice crunchy alternative.
This is a great addition to some nachos. After heating up your nachos just add this Mexican coleslaw right on top.
