Instructions

In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, shredded chicken, black beans, corn, jalapeño, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, taco seasoning, and cumin; toss until mixed well.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, kosher salt, chili powder, and chipotle sauce until creamy.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
Add most of the Chili Cheese Fritos, crushing lightly if desired, and stir to evenly incorporate the crunch.
Before serving, top with reserved Chili Cheese Fritos for an added crunch.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Using tri-color coleslaw mix enhances both crunch and color.
Feel free to adjust the spiciness by adding more or less jalapeño pepper or chipotle sauce.
