1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 whole lime
5 teaspoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce)

Chop the cilantro, and thinly slice the green and purple cabbage. Chop the onion and set the veggies and cilantro aside.
In a small bowl add the adobo sauce from the can of chipotle peppers, sour cream, lime juice and salt. Mix and set aside.
