CHIPOTLE COLESLAW

Spice up your BBQ sandwiches with my Southwestern twist on this cookout classic. Use fewer chipotles if you don't like heat, because this recipe has a kick. For the chipotles and adobos, buy the "chipotles in adobo" from any grocery store's international aisle.

SPICY CHIPOTLE COLE SLAW

Spicy Chipotle Cole Slaw image

Adapted from one of Emeril's recipes, where he did an episode with "crazy tacos". We like to make this and serve it in the fish tacos. I don't use Emeril's fish taco recipe, though. Instead I serve with Recipe #232309. I've change the propotions a bit and added some extras like cilantro and carrots. I really like the onions. Update 6/6/07: I made this tonight and measured everything as I made it, so I've updated the amounts (usually I don't measure, but just eyeball it).
