PRO TIPS
What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the best flavor, let the slaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- 2If you prefer a milder slaw, use only one chipotle pepper and reduce the adobo sauce.
- 3For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup of toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas).
- 4This slaw is best eaten the same day but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- 5Ensure the chipotle peppers are minced very finely for even heat distribution.
