Method

Preparing the Coleslaw

  1. 1

    Mix Coleslaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Preparing the Cajun Ranch Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together ranch dressing and Cajun seasoning until well combined. Set aside.

Frying the Haddock

  1. 4

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with cornmeal.

  2. 5

    Bread the Haddock

    Dredge each haddock fillet in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with cornmeal.

  3. 6

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  4. 7

    Fry the Haddock

    Carefully place the breaded haddock fillets in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 8

    Warm Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 9

    Build the Tacos

    Place a piece of fried haddock into each warm tortilla. Top with a generous amount of coleslaw, drizzle with Cajun ranch sauce, and sprinkle with diced jalapenos and fresh cilantro.
