5 Minute Tequila Lime Coleslaw with Cilantro
Aug 26, 2025 03:14 AM
Instead of a predictable sweet and tangy version, this tequila lime coleslaw has great depth of flavor, with an awesome zippiness from the lime and hint of tequila. It’s great on it’s own, or piled on top of a great burger, some tacos (seafood tacos are our faves!), grilled flank steak, or pulled pork!
Here we are in the thick of summer, which means it’s officially cookout-season!
While I love a great piece of grilled chicken or perfectly cooked burger, the real star of cookouts (in my opinion), are the sides.
I mean, there’s mac and cheese, baked beans, pasta salad, and so much more. Coleslaw is one of those under-appreciated sides.
It’s great on it’s own, it’s also an absolute staple on top of any bbq sandwich (pulled pork, shredded beef, pulled chicken, etc).
But due to the flavors of this coleslaw, I really love it on top of some fish tacos or shrimp tacos.
