EASY MEXICAN COLESLAW WITH CORN

Steps:

• Char the corn and jalapenos: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kernels of corn and the jalapenos. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
• Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the remaining 5 tablespoons of oil with the orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, cumin, paprika, chili powder, Mexican oregano (if using) and 1 tablespoon of honey. Season with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Whisk together. Taste and adjust with more citrus juice, honey, salt and pepper if desired. Set aside.
• Assemble the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the cooled corn and jalapenos, cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, red onions and half of the green onions (and jicama if using). Pour half of the dressing over the slaw. Toss well to combine. Taste and adjust with more dressing if desired.
• Let stand: Let coleslaw stand for at least 20 minutes, tossing once, to allow flavors to develop and meld. Toss again before garnishing and serving.
• Serve: Garnish the top of the slaw with the remaining green onions and cilantro. Top with cheese, avocado and any optional add-ins if using. Serve and enjoy!
