Chipotle Coleslaw

This Chipotle Coleslaw has a complex blend of flavors and richness that’s fantastic alone, and phenomenal when paired with white fish tacos!

It’s probably not a real shocker for you that I love everything chipotle.

Chipotles are, after all, a smoke-dried jalapeno.   And I love me some jalapenos.

The spicy, smoky chili when added to a dish adds such a complex blend of flavors and richness.

And although I do have an un-dying love of my Honey & Jalapeno Coleslaw, for fall, I wanted to come up with something different to account for the crisp, chilly air.

Chipotle Coleslaw | Inspiration KitchenSmoky chipotles were just the right ingredient.

This coleslaw is absolutely delicious alone, but it is really phenomenal when paired with white fish tacos!  It also goes really great with simple grilled chicken.

The chipotle peppers in this dish transforms a simple coleslaw recipe, above and beyond, thetypical summer slaws seen at picnics.

This one will surely bring a warmth and fall flavor to an all-time classic favorite.

Enjoy!

    Sweet molasses and smoky chipotles draped together over crunchy cole slaw? Masterful! This looks just fantastic, Kristi! I can definitely see it with fish tacos or chicken, but I’m dreaming of all the other reasons I just need to make this NOW! 😀

      I could totally have fish tacos with coleslaw for breakfast! But, I’m also not a huge breakfast fan, so maybe that’s not so unreasonable! Haha
