Servings: Approx. 4-6 tacos
FISH TACOS:
- 1 lb. fish filet (I choose a white fish -- grouper, tilapia, cod, turbot, whatever you like or is on sale!)
- Flour, for coating fish filets
- Queso fresco, for crumbling on top
- Lime juice
- Sliced green onion, for garnish
- Soft small tortillas (corn or flour)
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Cayenne
- Garlic powder
SLAW TOPPING:
- 2 cups coleslaw salad mix
- 2 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup finely sliced red onion
- 1/2 tomatillo, finely diced
- 2 tbs. white wine vinegar
- 4 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbs. hot sauce
DIRECTIONS:
- Prepare the slaw topping by combining coleslaw mix, sliced radishes, red onion, and tomatillo in a mixing bowl.
- Drizzle with white wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, hot sauce. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Toss salad and set to the side.
- Season fish filet (or filets) with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne on both sides. Then lightly flour each side.
- Heat a little olive oil (or other cooking oil or spray) In a skillet or frying pan, on medium heat. When it comes to temperature, add fish and fry for a few minutes on each side. Fish is done when it's golden-brown and meat turns from translucent to opaque white. Using a knife, break it into chunks.
- Build your tacos! Start with a few chunks of the fish in a tortilla, top with slaw mix, some crumbles of queso fresco, sliced green onion (or cilantro, if you like), and a squeeze of fresh lime.
