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.
