  • 1 bag (12 To 14 Oz. Bag) Coleslaw Mix
  • 2 whole Green Onions, Sliced
  • 1 can (14 Oz. Can) Corn
  • 1 whole Chipotle Chile From A Can Of Chipotle Chiles In Adobo Sauce
  • ½ cups Mayonnaise
  • ½ cups Sour Cream
  • ¼ cups Buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons Lime Juice
  • ½ teaspoons Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¼ cups Finely Chopped Cilantro
  • FOR THE FISH TACOS:
  • 1 whole Egg White
  • ⅓ cups Crushed Tortilla Chips
  • ½ teaspoons Cumin
  • ⅛ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • 4 whole Filets White Fish, Such As Tilapia, Cut Into Strips
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 whole Soft Taco Tortillas

Preparation

To make the chipotle slaw: In large bowl, combine slaw mix, green onions, and corn. Set aside. In a small food processor, add chipotle chile, mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Pulse until well combined. Add cilantro and mix with a spoon to combine. Add to the slaw mixture and stir well to combine. Let chill in the refrigerator while making the fish.

To make the fish tacos: Put egg white into a shallow bowl and whisk. Put finely crushed tortillas, cumin, and chili powder in a separate shallow bowl and mix well. Dip each strip of fish into the egg mixture, followed by the tortilla mixture. Once fish is coated, heat oil in a large skillet. Cook the fish until completely cooked, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Place 1-2 pieces of fish in each taco shell, then top with chipotle slaw. Enjoy!

I had seen another recipe first that sounded good but the slaw dressing didn’t sound as good as this one plus the reviews for this convinced me to try it. However, the other recipe had a marinade on the fish prior to pan grilling. I used that from the other recipe before dipping the fish in the egg & tortilla crumbs. Mahi was on sale and oh so delicious! (marinade was oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt/ pepper.) I also don’t care for the chipotle pepper in adobe but just used a little powdered chipotle pepper in the mix instead. Very yummy. Will make again.

Delicious! I’m not a fan of fried fish in general, so this is a tasty and light way to have one of my husband’s favorite recipes. Making the slaw ahead of time saves time on the remaining parts of the recipe. Our kids love this, too, though they tend to go with other toppings, as the slaw is a bit spicy for them.

We LOVED this recipe. The fish is yummy and the coleslaw is amazing. I know I will use the dressing recipe for a dipping sauce w onion rings. :)

I have made fish tacos several different ways this summer but this is hands down my absolute favorite. I wouldn’t have thought to use crushed tortilla chips. The best part is that my husband (who is *gasp* not a fan of fish tacos) went back for seconds … and thirds! Thanks for a great recipe!
