Asian Fish Stick Tacos
with tangy cabbage slaw / Sriracha crema

Active: 35 Total: 35

Our Asian Fish Tacos get great reviews for their combination of bright flavors and varied textures. Tonight we're bringing back a shortcut version from 2021 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.
