Instructions
- Cook fish according to package. (I typically use my oven or air-fryer.)
- While the fish is cooking, make the cabbage slaw and then the white sauce. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, cayenne, salt, & pepper together with a whisk. Add the cabbage, cilantro, corn, green onions into the same bowl, and toss until evenly coated with the dressing & well mixed. Set aside to marinate.
- To make the sauce, add all of the sauce ingredients to a medium bowl and stir. After the sauce is mixed well, refrigerate until the tacos are ready to assemble.
- Prepare the remaining ingredients while the fish finishes baking:
- slice jalapenos & green onions
- cut limes into wedges
- Optional: toast tortillas 20-30 seconds per side on medium-high heat, either in a small pan or directly on the stovetop. Wrap in a towel to keep warm.
- After the fish reaches an internal temp of 165F & chop into smaller pieces.
- Assemble the tacos! Start with a healthy dollop of the sauce on your charred tortilla before loading up with all the rest. *The slaw’s dressing may collect at the bottom - toss to freshen up before using.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- The Cabbage Slaw recipe makes more than you need for the tacos. The extra is to be used as a side dish. You could also cut the slaw in half if preferred.
