Ingredients

1 box of 6 Gorton's Seafood Beer Battered Fillets
6 flour tortillas or Bibb / Romaine lettuce
2 cups of a prepackaged bag of slaw or chopped kale salad
⅓ cup chopped peanuts optional
2 TBS soy sauce
1 TBS rice wine vinegar
1 TBS sesame oil
1 TBS brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili with garlic sauce
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ - 1 TBS Sriracha or chili with garlic sauce depends on how spicy you enjoy

Instructions

Cook fish fillets according to package directions.
Place your slaw in a small mixing bowl, add in peanuts if using.
Combine dressing ingredients in a mason jar and shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and adjust for sweetness and heat) Just before serving, toss slaw & with the dressing, allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
In another small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Sriracha, stir until fully mixed. Taste and adjust to your heat preference.
You can choose to briefly heat your tortillas just before assembling the tacos via a hot pan or comal or use them straight from the bag, either work.
Assemble Crispy Fish Tacos by placing some slaw into the center of each tortilla, topping that with a whole (or sliced) piece of fish, top that with a little more slaw and then some of the Sriracha mayo. Fold it up and enjoy immediately! Go ahead and do a little wiggle in your chair if you want to while you eat, I won't judge!!

Notes

- Choose traditional coleslaw or your favorite type of homemade or store-bought slaw instead.

- Use whole fillets or battered fish sticks.

- If you are avoiding breading of any type, you can simply sauté seasoned fresh cod with salt & pepper in a little avocado or olive oil and add a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end and and use that instead.

Make Ahead - Make Sriracha Mayo ahead of time in a ramekin and store covered in fridge until ready to use. Prep slaw ahead of time and toss with wet ingredients just before serving.
