Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 12-16 frozen fish sticks
  • 8 small flour tortillas (taco size)

Creamy Slaw

  • 2 cups pre-shredded coleslaw mix (green cabbage and carrots)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey or sugar
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For Serving (Optional)

  • Sriracha or hot sauce, for a kick
  • Lime wedges
  • Chopped cilantro

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven and bake the fish sticks according to package directions, typically 12-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), until golden brown and crispy. While they bake, prepare the slaw.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey (or sugar), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Add the coleslaw mix to the dressing and toss thoroughly until all the cabbage and carrots are evenly coated. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Once the fish sticks are cooked, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-20 seconds per side, microwave for 15-20 seconds, or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven for a few minutes.

  5. Step 5

    To assemble the wraps: Place 1-2 warm fish sticks down the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of the creamy slaw.

  6. Step 6

    Fold or roll up the tortillas. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, a dash of hot sauce if you like, and chopped cilantro. Enjoy your quick and satisfying wraps!

Tips

  • Don't skip warming the tortillas; it makes them more pliable and prevents cracking.
  • For a healthier slaw, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, or a 50/50 mix.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the slaw dressing for extra flavor.
