Instructions

Step 1 Make the slaw
Combine all of the slaw ingredients in a medium bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend while you make the tacos.
-
Step 2 Prepare the fish
In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar; set aside. Combine the egg, water and lemon juice; stir into dry ingredients until smooth. Place lime juice and remaining flour in separate shallow bowls. Dip fish pieces into lime juice, then flour, and coat with the batter.

Step 3 Heat oil and fry the fish
Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and place a wire cooling rack on top; set aside. Heat 1 inch of peanut oil in a large skillet. Fry fish pieces in batches over medium-high heat, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Set on wire cooling rack to drain.

Step 4 Assemble tacos and serve
Divide fish pieces evenly among warmed tortillas. Top with creamy garlic-lime slaw, avocado slices, tomatoes, and queso fresco. Serve with lime wedges.
