Ingredients
  

For Cilantro Dressing

  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove of garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsps ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

For The Coleslaw

  • 5 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 3/4 cups green onions, thinly sliced

For The Mango Salsa

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 2 tbsps fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 2 tbsps minced jalapeƱos, fresh or jarred I used jarred jalapeƱos so they would be a little tamed, less spicy.
  • 2 tbsps fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For Chipotle Aioli

  • 3 tbsps mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tsps chipotle powder

For The Fish

  • 6 frozen fish fillets I used Gorton's crunchy breaded frozen fish fillets. They are actually pretty good, and the ingredients list isn't bad at all!
  • 2 tsps smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the spices for the fish fillets. Place fillets on a lined baking sheet, and season each fillet on both side with seasoning. Cook fillets according to package directions.
  • In the meantime, while your oven is preheating and fish is cooking, prepare your salsa, coleslaw and aioli.
  • In a small bowl combine ingredients for the cilantro dressing. In a large bowl, add your ingredients for the coleslaw. Pour cilantro dressing on top of coleslaw ingredients and mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, mix together ingredients for the mango salsa. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, mix together ingredients for the chipotle aioli. Set aside.
  • When fish filets are done, prepare the fish taco bowls but spooning some coleslaw in a bowl, followed by the fish fillets, mango salsa and chipotle aioli.
  • Enjoy!
