Instructions

  1. 1
    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, sriracha, garlic powder, honey, and a pinch of salt for the taco sauce. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Pat the fish dry and slice into 1-inch wide strips. Season with paprika, garlic powder, half the salt, and pepper.
  3. 3
    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each fish strip in flour, dip in egg, then coat in panko.

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over a flame for about 20 seconds until soft.
  6. 6
    Fill each tortilla with shredded cabbage, crispy fish, a generous drizzle of taco sauce, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
