Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the coleslaw, shredded chicken, black beans, corn, jalapeño, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, taco seasoning, and cumin until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, kosher salt, chili powder, and chipotle sauce until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad mix right before serving and toss gently to coat.
Add most of the Chili Cheese Fritos and stir them in gently for added crunch.
Top with the reserved Chili Cheese Fritos just before serving for extra texture.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less jalapeño.
This dish can be prepared ahead of time, but add Fritos just before serving for maximum crunch.
You can substitute shredded chicken with ground turkey or beef for a different flavor.
