Made some awesome fish tacos last night, I can't begin to tell you how good these are, could use any fish in them too.

Cut fish into strips and chunks, I left the darker part out. Squeezed a lime over them and left in the fridge for 2 hours.

Mixed a slaw using 3 cups of bagged cole slaw and a whole bunch of cilantro (probably about a cup chopped)

Sauce, one tbls of veg oil, 2 tbls honey, squeezed in one lime, added some ms. dash (if you got cumin, use that as an option)

I mixed 1/2 of the sauce into the salw, used the other 1/2 to dress the tacos.

Last made a chipolte mayo using a cup of mayo, 2 of the bigger chipotle chilies in a can. They are in adobo sauce, use a spoonfull to taste of the sauce as well, a 1/4 tespoon of salt and a 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Pan fried the mahi, warmed some flour tortillas, put the chipolte mayo on the tortilla, added a couple peices of fish, topped with the slaw, added a couple more pieces of the fish, drizzled the sauce over them.

The whole meal cost me a couple only a couple bucks to make, the slaw mix was 1.50, the chipolte in sauce was under a buck, the two limes under a buck and the rest in the cabinet..... o

h yeah, the mahi fillet was only $400 (chartered)

Let me know if you make this or improve it anyway!

Oh yeah, to fry the fish dredge 1st in flour, then in egg then into the breadcrumbs. The trick to the breadcrumbs is to take panko and crush it, I put it in pastic wrap and smashed it with the bottom of a heavy glass but chopped in a processor would have been easier.
