1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup sliced red onion (~ half onion sliced on the vertical)
1 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1-3 fresh jalapenos, seeded and thinly sliced (mine was super hot so I used 1- if yours are mild, add up to 3 jalapenos)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup sliced red onion (~ half onion sliced on the vertical)

Recipe adapted from Cooking Light
I used a bag of coleslaw mix (red and green cabbage and carrots), no cilantro or jalapenos. I added sweet mini peppers, honey in place of sugar and parsley. I also used a pinch or two of chili powder. It's a zesty change to typical mayo-sugar based coleslaw. Give it a try. It's a great topper for tostados!
Our tostados are topped with refried beans, colby jack cheese, avocado and corn and black bean salsa. My boys attacked these like candy!

Meredith, i look at your blog for recipes more than all recipes dot com. This slaw should be the official slaw of san antonio. It is so good! We made it tonight with green onions instead of red, and a bunch of colorful mini peppers. So good!
