- 1 small cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 mango, thinly sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- ⅓ cup olive oil

fish tacos
- 4 cod filets, cut into pieces
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 12 ounces beer
- avocado oil, for frying
- 8 to 12 corn tortillas, warmed
- guacamole, for serving!
Instructions
chipotle crema
- Whisk all ingredients (and a pinch of salt and pepper) together until combined.
mango slaw
- Place the cabbage, mango, red onion and cilantro in a large bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, honey and olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Season the slaw all over with salt and pepper too. Pour the dressing over the slaw, tossing it together. Let it sit for 5 minutes and toss it again. Serve on top of the chicken sandwiches.
fish tacos
- Pat the fish completely dry with paper towels. In a bowl, stir together the garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Season the fish all over with the spices.
- Add the rest of the spices into a large bowl with the flour. Whisk to combine.
- Add in the egg and the beer. Whisk until smooth.
- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Just enough to cover the bottom.
- Once it’s hot, dip a piece of the fish in the beer batter. Place it in the oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes until deeply golden brown. Repeat with remaining fish.
- To assemble the tacos, add some of the slaw on the tortilla. Top with a piece of fish (you can break the pieces apart if needed). Drizzle on the crema. Add some guacamole. Serve!
