Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

Asian Fish Tacos got great reviews back in 2020 for their combination of bright flavors and varied textures. Tonight we're bringing back a shortcut version that uses store-bought fish sticks for an even faster meal.
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.
