Spicy Trout Tacos With Crunchy Slaw

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Get ready to dive into the vibrant world of Trout Tacos, where the mild flavor of trout meets the boldness of Mexican crema, lime, and guacamole!

Imagine a dish that’s both delicate and daring, with a semi-homemade slaw that adds a satisfying crunch to each bite. It’s a flavor fiesta in your mouth!

First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap 16 white corn tortillas in foil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until warm and pliable. Meanwhile, mix together thinly sliced purple cabbage, green onions, coleslaw mix, Mexican crema, lime zest, and cilantro in a large bowl. Toss to coat and season with salt and pepper.

Next, carefully remove the skin from 4 trout filets and cut each into 2- to 3-inch pieces. In a shallow bowl, stir together tapioca starch, cumin, chipotle powder, and Mexican oregano. Dip the fish pieces into the seasoning mixture to coat, making sure they’re evenly covered.

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the coated fish pieces and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and flaky. Transfer the fish to a drip tray and season with salt.

Now it’s time to assemble our tacos! Using 2 corn tortillas for each taco, divide the fish, slaw, and guacamole between the tacos. Garnish each with the green tops of scallions and serve with remaining lime wedges and crema on the side.

As you take your first bite, the combination of flavors and textures will leave you wanting more. The crispy trout, the tangy slaw, and the creamy guacamole all come together in perfect harmony. It’s a culinary symphony that will leave you singing!

So go ahead, indulge in this epic Trout Taco adventure and experience the thrill of flavors that will leave you hooked!
