Asian Fish Stick Tacos
with tangy cabbage slaw / Sriracha crema
Smarts #1: Look for breaded fish sticks so that you get the most crunch in the tacos.
Smarts #2: Don't forget to season the coleslaw with some salt right before serving. Salt will help the other flavors to really pop.

Bomb! Added jalapeño to the coleslaw because hot peppers make me feel alive. ;)

Love this as a shortcut for when I don’t have the energy to make fish from scratch. I used breaded fillets and chopped them up.
Great flavors but the tofu really stuck in my air fryer. Will add oil to the marinade next time.
Winner winner, easy dinner. So simple, great way for someone like me who doesn’t really cook fish to incorporate it, and enjoyed by parents and toddler alike.
