  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, rinsed black beans, thawed corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped jalapeño, sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro. Toss together until evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chipotle sauce until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Pour the creamy chipotle dressing over the salad base and toss gently until all are coated with the dressing.
  4. Sprinkle Chili Cheese Fritos over the salad just before serving to keep them crisp.
