Creating Lazy Crunchy Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Fish: Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, whisk together eggs and milk in the second, and mix panko bread crumbs with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
3. Bread the Fish: Dip each fish fillet first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan.
5. Fry the Fish: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded fish pieces. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Prepare the Slaw: In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and lime juice. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Warm Tortillas: In another skillet, lightly warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
