Spicy Mexican Slaw With Lime And Cilantro Food

MEXICAN SLAW WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Shred the cabbage by very thinly slicing or use a mandolin. If making an extra-large batch using your food processor with grater attachment is a good option. See notes for adding other veggies.
• Add the cilantro, onion (see note), jalapeno, lime zest and lime juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, coriander and pepper.
• Toss well. Taste and adjust salt and lime to your liking. Add extra jalapeno if you like.
• Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

CILANTRO SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the shredded cabbage in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt, black pepper and cayenne. Add more milk if you like the dressing a little thinner. Pour over the cabbage. Toss to combine.
• Just before serving, toss in the cilantro. Can mix the slaw up to 2 hours before serving.

SAVOY, LIME AND CILANTRO COLESLAW

Steps:

• Shave the cabbage with a sharp knife or mandoline so you have thin ribbons. Cut the scallions long and on the bias so you have pieces similar in shape to the cabbage. Toss the cabbage, scallions and cilantro in a large salad bowl.
• Make the dressing by combining the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar and the zest of the limes in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and finish with a squeeze of lime juice. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.

MEXICAN COLESLAW WITH SPICY LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Thinly slice cabbage. Slice green onions, and wash, dry and chop cilantro. Combine cabbage, green onions and cilantro in large salad bowl.
• Process lime juice through chipotle in adobo sauce, if desired, in a blender until blended.
• Mix dressing into cabbage mixture. Season to taste with pepper and serve immediately, or chill for a few hours.
• This salad will keep well overnight in the refrigerator, but the lime juice will cause the red cabbage to bleed color and turn the salad slightly pink.

CREAMY CILANTRO-LIME SLAW

Steps:

• Season slaw with more lime juice, salt, and pepper, if desired, just before serving.

SPICY SHRIMP TACOS WITH GARLIC CILANTRO LIME SLAW

Steps:

• Pulse all the sauce ingredients except the sour cream in a food processor. When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
• Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the spices. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and saute for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
• Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage until it the cabbage is coated to your liking. It should resemble a coleslaw - you want it to be enough sauce so the cabbage is weighed down a little bit. Use leftover sauce on top of the tacos or in other recipes.
• To serve tacos, smash a spoonful of avocado on the tortillas, top with a few pieces of shrimp, top with coleslaw, and finish with Cotjia cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.
