Fish Tacos

Honey Chipotle Slaw

Fresh Cut Salsa

Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the fish fillets and pat dry. Cut them into strips.

  2. 2

    Batter the Fish

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each fish strip first in the egg, then coat with the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the fish strips until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Slaw Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, honey, chipotle sauce, lime juice, and salt. Toss well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Aioli

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined.

Salsa Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Salsa

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas. Place a few pieces of fried fish on each tortilla, top with honey chipotle slaw, drizzle with chipotle aioli, and add fresh cut salsa.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
