Steps:
- Char the corn and jalapenos: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kernels of corn and the jalapenos. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the remaining 5 tablespoons of oil with the orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, cumin, paprika, chili powder, Mexican oregano (if using) and 1 tablespoon of honey. Season with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Whisk together. Taste and adjust with more citrus juice, honey, salt and pepper if desired. Set aside.
- Assemble the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the cooled corn and jalapenos, cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, red onions and half of the green onions (and jicama if using). Pour half of the dressing over the slaw. Toss well to combine. Taste and adjust with more dressing if desired.
- Let stand: Let coleslaw stand for at least 20 minutes, tossing once, to allow flavors to develop and meld. Toss again before garnishing and serving.
- Serve: Garnish the top of the slaw with the remaining green onions and cilantro. Top with cheese, avocado and any optional add-ins if using. Serve and enjoy!

MEXICAN COLESLAW
I took the recipe from Cooking Light and tweaked it a little. The first time I made it by the recipe it was too tart and not spicy enough so the following is what I finally came up with.

Steps:
- Combine the cabbage, onion, cilantro and jalapeños in a salad bowl and set aside.
- Combine the lime juice, olive oil, sea salt and sugar and whisk until the sugar and salt are dissolved, then pour over the cabbage mixture and serve immediately.
- I do not like this dish as a leftover, it loses it's crispness and clean taste.

MEXICAN COLESLAW
This is a simple cabbage salad that goes well with any summer meal. I typically serve this with pollo asado tacos (see my recipe for Pollo Asado), and it goes especially well with fish tacos. Sometimes, I use it ON my fish tacos! You can adjust the cilantro to your taste, I know I have many friends that say they don't eat it, but love this salad when I cut back on the cilantro a little bit. Also, adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste, as limes vary greatly in their acidity. To make this extra colorful, you can add 1/2 cup of shredded carrot or 1/4 cup of finely diced red bell pepper. Buen provecho!
