Ingredients
  

For the Fish Sticks
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (like cod) Fresh or frozen, fully thawed before cooking.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
  • 2 large eggs Can use flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs Can swap for regular breadcrumbs if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Feel free to add more spices for personalization.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Gives a smoky flavor and beautiful color.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust according to taste preference; kosher salt recommended.
For the Tacos
  • 8 small corn tortillas Flour tortillas can be used if preferred.
  • 1 cup green cabbage (shredded) Can substitute with coleslaw mix.
  • 1 whole avocado (sliced) Balances the crunch of the fish sticks.
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo Store-bought salsa can be a time-saver.
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice Add more if you love tanginess!
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce Optional, but gives an extra kick.
