grilled yellowtail tacos with quick slaw, avocado crema, and mango habanero salsa

I think one of the reasons I love tacos so much, is that they are layer upon layer of flavoring.

You’ve got seasoned protein, any variety of salsa, some sort of dairy, cream (be it sour, flavored, or “a”) and or cheese, and veggies.

Each component works together to create the perfect bite.

And there is no limit to the combinations you can come up with.

These fish tacos are no exception. Grilled yellowtail, mango/habanero salsa, a quick and easy coleslaw, and an avocado crema. Perfection in a bite.

Ingredients:

1 lb yellowtail, skin off, and cut into strips

2 Tbsp avocado oil

1 Tbsp taco seasoning (your favorite)

easy coleslaw

2 cup shredded green cabbage

1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage

1 carrot, shredded

3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

mix all ingredients together and set aside in fridge until ready to serve
