Preparation

For coleslaw, in large bowl combine all coleslaw dressing ingredients, whisk to combine. Add coleslaw ingredients and toss. Cover and refrigerate for few hours or overnight before serving.

For fish, ensure fish is completely thawed in fridge overnight. Blot fish with towel to make sure it is dry. In large bowl combine batter ingredients and mix well. Heat oil in heavy-bottomed saucepan until temperature reaches 350°F on deep-fat thermometer. Dip fish into batter and gently drop into oil. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on towel. Repeat with remaining fish. Remove and drain on towels.

To assemble tacos, on each tortilla layer fish, coleslaw, mango and avocado. Serve with a spicy chipotle or your favourite Mexican sauce.
