Ingredients

400 g coleslaw mix
30 g chopped fresh cilantro
180 ml Greek yogurt
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
15 ml red wine vinegar
10 ml adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
5 g salt
450 g white fish fillets
5 g salt
5 g dried cilantro
5 g ground cumin
5 g dried Mexican oregano
60 g all-purpose flour
60 g cornstarch
5 g cayenne pepper
1 liter oil for frying
8 (15 cm) flour tortillas
1 avocado, diced
1 medium tomato, chopped

Directions

Step 1
Prepare the chipotle slaw by combining the coleslaw mix, cilantro, yogurt, chipotle peppers, red wine vinegar, adobo sauce, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well and refrigerate.
Step 2
Cut the fish fillets into 60g portions. Season with 5g salt, dried cilantro, cumin, and oregano. Let it rest while you combine the flour, cornstarch, cayenne, and remaining 5g salt in a shallow dish.
Step 3
Dip each fish fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Set aside for at least 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a deep fryer or large saucepan, heat the oil to 190°C.
Step 5
Fry the coated fish in the hot oil until golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 6
To assemble the tacos, place a fried fillet on each tortilla, top with 60g of the slaw, and add slices of avocado and tomato.
