Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, one chopped chipotle, a tablespoon of the adobo sauce, and liquid smoke.
Taste for heat, and add more chipotles or sauce as required. If it's already too spicy - you'll need to add more mayo! Season with salt and pepper if required.
Add in the coleslaw mix and stir well to coat the vegetables.
Cover and store in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

When serving, I like to add a signal that the slaw is spicy by garnishing it with a jalapeño - otherwise unsuspecting guests might get more heat than they bargained for!
