Baja Fish Tacos

Ingredients
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup vegetable oil, for frying fish
  • 1 package coleslaw mix (green and purple cabbage with carrots)
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup slaw dressing (Marzetti)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil mayonnaise
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 (1 oz) packets fish taco seasoning mix
  • 2 pounds haddock, cut into 'fingers' or other white fish of your choice
  • 12 soft flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup pico de gallo, recipe follows
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted and sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
Cooking Directions
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, toss the slaw mix with slaw dressing together in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Refrigerate slaw and mayo until ready to assemble tacos.
  2. Empty contents of seasoning packets into a shallow bowl.
  3. Dredge fish 'fingers' in the seasoning mix, covering all sides. Fry in hot oil until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes (or until fish flakes easily with fork). Transfer fish with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
