A flavorful twist on the classic sloppy joe, featuring spicy chipotle beans and a creamy, crunchy slaw.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until softened.
Adding a pinch of salt while cooking the onion helps it release its moisture and cook evenly.
Add the ketchup, corn, black beans, tomato sauce, chipotle chile, and cumin to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Simmering the mixture allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the mixture from sticking to the skillet.
Stir in the cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Fresh cilantro adds a burst of flavor; add it just before serving for maximum freshness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, cider vinegar, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Whisking the dressing thoroughly ensures a creamy and even consistency.
Add the coleslaw mix and diced red bell pepper to the dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
Letting the slaw sit for a few minutes allows the flavors to meld.
Toast the buns lightly if desired. Spoon the bean mixture onto the bottom half of each bun and top with the slaw.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm beans and cool slaw.
