Mexican Coleslaw

So.... I have a confession.
We are in a rut. A masa cake rut. It is a new staple for sure.
This time though I mixed in corn and cheddar.
The best part though was the topping.
Mexican Coleslaw.

Do you have any idea how cheap coleslaw is? Way cheaper than salad. I think a head of cabbage is like 30 cents (a little pricier if you go for the red), Lime (30 cents), onion (25 cents), avocado (70 cents), sour cream (maybe 50 cents for the amount i use).

So that is just under 2 dollars and can serve 4 people easily.
And if you have never liked coleslaw before, I am going to chance my reputation and say- you'll like this one.

Mexican Coleslaw
1 head cabbage, sliced as thin as possible
1/2 onion, sliced thin
1 lime, zest and juice
1/4 c sour cream
1 t garlic powder
1 t kosher salt
1/2 t pepper
1 t cumin
1 avocado

Mix everything up to 24 hours ahead, the longer it sits the better it will be.

Top with avocado and spoon into tacos, on masa cakes, etc. Or just serve as a side dish.

enJOY. I know we sure did.
