Tortillas

Asian Slaw

Roasted Jalapeno Remoulade

Pickled Red Onions

Chipotle Lime Crema

Tortilla Chips

Method

Preparation of Pickled Red Onions

  1. 1

    Pickling the Onions

    In a medium bowl, combine sliced red onion, apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Stir well and let sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

Preparation of Asian Slaw

  1. 2

    Making the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, and cilantro. In a separate small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preparation of Roasted Jalapeno Remoulade

  1. 3

    Making the Remoulade

    In a blender, combine mayonnaise, roasted jalapeno, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Preparation of Fried Catfish

  1. 4

    Breading the Fish

    In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip catfish fillets first in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture.

  2. 5

    Frying the Fish

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add breaded catfish fillets and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly of Fish Tacos

  1. 6

    Assembling the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side. On each tortilla, place a piece of fried catfish, top with Asian slaw, pickled red onions, cilantro, and a drizzle of roasted jalapeno remoulade and chipotle lime crema.

  2. 7

    Serving

    Serve the tacos with a side of tortilla chips for a complete meal.
