Chipotle is the ultimate flavour of Mexico, and is the signature flavour in this dish. Smoky and fiery, it is really distinctive and tastes great with Mexican meat recipes. This dish is a super tasty lunch or dinner with a twist, the slaw adding to the Mexican authenticity by adding avocado into the mix – a sort of cross between guacamole and coleslaw – what’s not to like about that!! You can serve this alone, or with a few plain tortilla chips, or if your calories allow a tortilla wrap.
