Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fish Tacos with Chipotle Slaw.

1. Step 1

   Begin by crafting the vibrant chipotle slaw.

   Stir thoroughly and let it chill in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to harmonize beautifully.

4. Step 4

   Next, take your fish fillets and slice them into 2-ounce portions.

5. Step 5

   Season each piece with a teaspoon of salt, dried cilantro, cumin, and oregano, then set them aside to absorb the flavors while you prepare the coating.

6. Step 6

   In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, and the remaining teaspoon of salt.

7. Step 7

   Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, ensuring a generous coating, and let them rest for about five minutes.
