Ingredients

• 12 corn tortillas
• 1¼ pounds of fish fillet chopped into small pieces (cod, catfish, tilapia, or halibut)
• 1½ cups of thinly sliced red cabbage
• ½ cup of fresh salsa
• Vegetable oil
• ½ cup of mayonnaise
• ½ cup of roughly chopped cilantro (fresh)
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• ½ tsp of chili powder
• 2 tbsp of honey (or agave nectar)
• 1 Hass avocado
• ¾ cup of all-purpose flour
• Juice from one lime
• Lime wedges for serving

Preparation

1)      Heat approximately 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it gets hot.

2)      Mix the honey, lime juice, cabbage, mayonnaise, and cilantro in a bowl. Add salt for taste.

3)      Use a skillet to warm the tortillas or wrap them in a damp cloth and microwave them for 25 seconds.  Cover them with a towel to maintain warmth.

4)      In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, chili powder, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture on the fish. Fry the fish in batches until it’s golden and cooked through (approximately 2 to 3 minutes). Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Add salt for flavor.

5)      Peel the avocado and slice it into small pieces. Put the pieces in the tortillas together with the fish, salsa, and slaw.
