A light fried fish fillet topped with a spicy slaw. My eleven-year-old loves this dish!
Ingredients
Chipotle Slaw
- 1 (16 ounce) package coleslaw mix
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
- 1 teaspoon salt
Tacos
- 1 pound white fish fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 quart oil for frying, or as needed
- 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
- 1 avocado, diced, or to taste
- 1 medium tomato, chopped, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Mix coleslaw mix, cilantro, yogurt, peppers, vinegar, adobo sauce, and salt for slaw together and set aside in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Cut fillets into 2-ounce portions. Season fish with 1 teaspoon salt, dried cilantro, cumin, and oregano. Allow to rest while combining flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, and cayenne in a shallow dish.
Step 3
Dip each fillet in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Set aside for at least 5 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat 1 inch of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 5
Fry fish in the hot oil until golden and it flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
To assemble, top a tortilla with one fillet, 1/4 cup slaw, and slices of avocado and tomato if desired.
