Fish Tacos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, crush the tortilla chips into fine crumbs. Place the flour in another shallow bowl, and beat the eggs in a third bowl.

  2. 2

    Bread the Catfish

    Dip each catfish fillet into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the crushed tortilla chips. Ensure that each fillet is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Catfish

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded catfish fillets and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a fried catfish fillet on each tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, a drizzle of vegan chipotle aioli, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with house-made salsa and extra tortilla chips on the side.
