Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup mayo
salt
ground pepper
corn tortillas
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (we like things spicy so I added more than suggest, plus some cayenne pepper)
1 1/4 pounds fish of your choice--The recipe calls for halibut fillet, but it's way too expensive for me! I bought tilapia instead. (cut into 2 by 1/2-inch pieces)
1 Hass avocado
1/2 cup salsa or hot sauce
1. Heat about 3 inches vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, toss the cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, and mayo in a bowl. Season with salt.
2. Mix the flour, chili powder, (cayenne pepper), and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow bowl. Dredge the fish into the flour mixture, then fry in batches until golden and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt.
3. Warm the tortillas. Halve, pit, and slice the avocado. Fill the torillas with the fish, avocado, slaw, and salsa/hot sauce.
I didn't take any pictures myself, but here's the one from the Food Network magazine. :)
Note: I'm no health nut, so fried food=good food! However, I'm sure you could bake the fish if you so wish.

I made these tonight and Oh my gosh! They were so good! The kiddos even ate them up! I added jalapeƱo, pineapple and cayenne to the slaw but other than that followed exactly. Thank you for posting!
