Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse fish fillets under cold water, pat dry, and cut into taco-sized pieces. In a shallow dish, mix cornstarch with salt and pepper.
  2. In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with spices like paprika and garlic powder for coating.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test with breadcrumbs; they should sizzle upon contact.
  4. Dredge each fish piece in cornstarch mixture, dip into beaten eggs, then coat in panko crumbs. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix cabbage with cilantro and lime juice; season with salt.
  6. Warm corn tortillas and layer crispy fish on each tortilla, topping generously with citrus slaw and drizzle chipotle sauce before serving.
