Curtido is a lightly pickled cabbage slaw common in Central America. Using a half jalapeno gives it some real zip but you can always dial back on it if you want. (Note: these instructions are not meant for long term canning.)

PICO DE GALLO WITH CABBAGE (MEXICAN COLESLAW)



Pico de Gallo with Cabbage (Mexican Coleslaw) image

It took a while to get this perfected so it tastes just like our favorite Mexican restaurant. This is a great change up to the ordinary chips and salsa. It goes great with chips or as a quesadilla topping. It's different from your typical Mexican fare, but it is fantastic. This is a pretty forgiving recipe and you can adjust ingredients to your liking. You can add more cilantro, onion or jalapeno depending on your tastes. You can eat this right away but it is best after you have given the flavors an hour or two to blend. For those that don't like it too hot, La Costena® brand makes a great pickled jalapeno that has lots of flavor and not too much heat.

SPICY SOUTHWESTERN SLAW



Spicy Southwestern Slaw image

Great topping for tacos--also a nice side dish for any type of Mexican or Tex-Mex entree! Hint: The measurements are approximate- I usually make this without any. You can use green or purple cabbage, or a combination of the two. Same goes for green or red bell peppers. For extra heat, use an additional jalapeno pepper.
