TACO SLAW:
 (My cheat way)Toss coleslaw mix with ranch dressing in a bowl, set aside.

FISH:

1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 350 °F.
2. Dredge fish in flour mix.
3. Fry coated cod in batches in the hot oil until cod is cooked through and the coating is brown, 4 to 5 minutes.  Do not overcrowd the pan.
4. Remove cod with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
5. To serve, lay tortilla flat on a plate, top with taco slaw, 2-3 pieces of fried fish, a sprinkle of cheese, and fresh salsa.
(Option: Fill Pita Pocket as you would the tortillas) 
6. Drizzle with fish taco sauce, chile-garlic sauce, and lime juice if desired.
7. Repeat with tortillas or pita pockets.
8. Serve with Seasoned Fries






Enjoy!!!
