This easy chipotle coleslaw has SO much flavor, you won't believe your taste buds!

Chipotle Coleslaw with Lime is one of my husband's favorites. This side dish packs so much flavor, you just might completely forget about any other food being served with it!
(Except for the brownies..or anything chocolate for that matter...chocolate trumps just about everything in my book!)
The amazing flavor in and of itself makes this a great recipe for my husband, but what seals the deal for me is that it is also super-easy. So I can whip up a whole bunch in record time, which makes all the guys in my life happy!

I start with pre-shredded cabbage, which significantly cuts down on the work involved with making cole slaw. It costs a bit more, but for me it is worth it!
Just toss the cabbage with a few more readily available ingredients you probably already have in your house, and there you go! It is best if you can refrigerate the slaw overnight, or at least for a few hours to let the flavors set.
