Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chipotle Avocado Sauce

  1. Put the avocado, chipotle in adobo, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and garlic in a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend until it’s smooth. To taste, adjust the chipotle or spice. Put aside.

Step 2: Make the Slaw

  1. Combine the carrot, coriander, and shredded cabbage in a large bowl.
  2. Season with salt and pepper after drizzling with olive oil and lime juice.
  3. Coat well and leave aside.

Step 3: Cook the Fish

  1. Combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cornmeal (if using), salt, and pepper in a small basin.
  2. Cut the fish fillets into taco-sized pieces after patting them dry. Shake off excess flour after dredging each piece in the mixture.
  3. In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The fish should be cooked through and golden brown after 2 to 3 minutes on each side in the fryer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  4. If desired, garnish with other ingredients like tomatoes, queso fresco, or jalapeños.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Fresh lime wedges should be served beside the tacos right away.
  2. Serve with a cool beverage, such as lime-infused sparkling water or a margarita.
