Steps:
- Cook the fish sticks according to the package directions.
- Pile 3 fish sticks onto each Homemade Tortilla. Add some of the Cabbage Pantry Slaw, both salsas and cheese, then top with a few slices of jalapeno and a squeeze of a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
- In a bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Stir in the vegetable oil, then slowly pour in the hot water, stirring gently. When the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times to smooth it out.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Pinch off a piece of dough slightly smaller than a Ping-Pong ball and roll it into a 5-inch circle. It should be extremely thin.
- Cook on the dry skillet for about 1 minute on the first side, until it starts to brown a little, then flip it and cook for about 30 seconds on the second side. Remove and stack onto a kitchen towel, then repeat with the rest. As you stack the tortillas, wrap them in the kitchen towel while you cook the next ones.
- Put the shredded cabbage in a large bowl. Add the dressing, jalapenos and their liquid, pimentos and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Steps:
- Toss the slaw mix, red onion, lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; set aside.

Transfer to a cutting board and slice or flake the fish.

- Divide the fish among the warm tortillas. Top with the slaw, cilantro, crema and salsa verde. Serve with lime wedges.
CRISPY TILAPIA FISH TACOS WITH SLAW
Best fish tacos ever. Anybody who eats these is going to tell you to go open your own restaurant immediately. I've had plenty of people tell me "I don't like fish, but these tacos are amazing!" My secret in this recipe is the diet ginger ale. A lot of people use ginger beer, but I like the diet ginger ale because I find the batter is lighter and more crispy with all the flavor you get from ginger beer. Make 'em, eat 'em, love 'em, add them to your rotation. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired.

Steps:
- Mix mayonnaise, onion, pickles, and lemon juice for tartar sauce in a bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until needed.
- Combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix garlic and ginger with rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over slaw and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
- Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a deep pot over medium heat.
- While oil is heating, mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Slowly add ginger ale and mix to combine. You don't want the batter to be overly thick; excess batter should be able to coat the fish entirely, but still be able to drip off.
- Pat tilapia chunks dry and dredge in the batter until thoroughly coated.
- Test the oil by adding a few drops of batter in it; when the batter begins to bubble and float, the oil is ready. Working in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot, carefully lower some tilapia into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining tilapia.
- To serve, place slaw on warm tortillas. Top with tilapia and tartar sauce.

Tips:
- For the best fish tacos, choose a firm-fleshed fish that can withstand being grilled or fried, such as tilapia, cod, or salmon.
- To make sure the fish is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- For a crispy fish taco, coat the fish in a mixture of flour, cornmeal, and spices before frying.
- For a healthier fish taco, bake the fish instead of frying it.
- To make the slaw, use a combination of shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion. You can also add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or jicama.
- For a creamy slaw, add a mayonnaise-based dressing. For a vinegar-based slaw, use a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and oil.
- Serve the fish tacos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
