Fish Tacos

If you’ve never had them, this might not look like something you’d want to even try. No cheese, no fatty seasoned meat, no crispy deep-fried shell. It’s just basically coleslaw and fish on a tortilla… but let me ensure you, these are fan-freaken-tastic! I’ve written the recipe out a little different than I normally do, so please be sure to read through the whole thing before deciding if you’ll be making this or not (please do make it!)

Slaw Ingredients

Sauce

• 2 heaped TBSP mayo
• 2 heaped TBSP sour cream
• 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 TBSP lime juice
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp fine salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 TBSP honey or agave (or sugar)

Veggies

• 1 head of white cabbage, sliced fine
• 1 large carrot, peeled & shredded finely
• 1 medium red onion, sliced fine

Slaw Instructions

1. Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients, then whisk well to combine.
2. Add the prepared vegetables and mix well to coat them. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. While the slaw is chilling, prepare your fish & tortillas.

Fish

• 1 lb of mild white fish (cod/haddock/tilapia), steamed, grilled or broiled and flaked into chunks -OR- you could use a commercially prepared breaded/coated fish of your choice (yup, I’m talking about fish sticks).

Tortillas

• 8 Corn tortillas, heated by steam or dry pan fried and kept warm.

To Serve

• 1 lime, into 8 wedges
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Let’s Eat!

1. When ready to serve, drain off any excess liquid from the slaw and stir.
2. Put a large spoonful of the slaw onto a warm tortilla, top with 1/8 of the cooked fish, fold into a taco shape.
3. Repeat 7 more times.
4. Serve each taco with a big pinch of cilantro and a lime wedge on the side.

Makes 8 Tacos / 2 to 4 Servings

Notes

• I love cilantro, but not everyone does. If everyone you are making this for likes cilantro then I suggest stirring it into the slaw just before serving. Otherwise, it’s nice to just leave it on the side so everyone has the option.
