    Prepare the Breading

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Carefully add the breaded fish fillets to the skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cabbage Slaw Preparation

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 6

    Dress the Slaw

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Chipotle Sauce Preparation

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.

    Warm the Tortillas

    Lightly warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
