Fish Tacos with Jalapeño Slaw

Share

These Fish Tacos with Jalapeño Slaw are my new go-to weeknight dish. Spicy cumin-chile roasted fish fillets stuffed into warmed whole-grain tortillas. Serve each taco with citrus-jalapeño slaw and peach or mango salsa. These come together in just 15 minutes and make for a perfect weeknight dinner.  

Since the fish cooks quickly, you should prepare the jalapeño slaw first. Combine the coleslaw mix with thinly sliced red onions and finely chopped jalapeño. Then make a citrusy dressing by mixing together the lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, and a healthy dash of cumin and salt. Dress the jalapeño slaw and chill for up to 6 hours. Pat dry the fish fillets and season one side with the seasoning mixture. Grill the fish until charred and flaky. To serve, stuff the slaw into the warmed tortillas and top with grilled fish, peach or mango salsa, and a good squeeze of lime. Enjoy!

To make the Fish Tacos with Jalapeño Slaw, you will need the following ingredients:

In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons together lime juice, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon ground cumin and a dash of salt.

Pour the dressing over the jalapeño slaw and toss to coat. Cover and transfer to the fridge to chill for up to 6 hours.
