Description
This Frito Cowboy Cabbage is a quick dinner, easy recipe, and crowd-pleasing side dish packed with crunchy cabbage, sweet corn, black beans, juicy tomatoes, creamy taco dressing, and crispy corn chips. It is one of my favorite food ideas for busy weeknights, casual potlucks, summer cookouts, and easy dinner ideas when I want something fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without much work.
Ingredients
6 cups coleslaw mix
2 cups Fritos corn chips
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup sweet corn, drained
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Add the coleslaw mix, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, and cheddar cheese to a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, taco seasoning, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
4. Chill for 15 to 30 minutes if you want the flavors to blend a little more.
5. Fold in 1 cup of the Fritos just before serving, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup on top for extra crunch.
Notes
Do not add the Fritos too early, or they will lose their crunch and turn soft in the dressing.
