These Fish Tacos were inspired by Hefe’s Fish Tacos from Parrilla’s in Bend, Oregon. Please read notes at the bottom before preparing.

6.)Preheat oven to 400•. In a large frying pan heat oil to medium high heat. Cook fish for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Cook in batches, don’t overcrowd your pan. Place into the oven for 10 additional minutes, to get it a little bit crispier.

8.) When fish comes out of the oven sprinkle with some salt.
9.) To serve put fish first on top of tortillas, then onions, cilantro, chipotle sauce, and cabbage on top. Serve with a wedge of lime.
💙 Notes:💙
💙 I used Bacon’s Heir brand Pork Panko and Lupina brand Lupin Flour.
💙 If you’re not Keto you can use regular flour and Panko. For Gluten free use your favorite gluten free blend of flour and a gluten free Panko.
💙 Chipotle in Adobo Sauce is found on the canned chili aisle. You want to use the liquid part that is in the can. I buy the Embasa brand. You can put the leftover chilies and sauce in a covered jar and keep it in the fridge for about 2 weeks. I use it in lots of recipes. My Chipotle Meatball recipe.

💙 The fried fish can be frozen in a ziplock bag for about a month. Just place on a cookie sheet bake at 400• for 20 minutes flip half way through.
💙 I have also used the Jalapeno Cilantro Dressing as a sauce on these fish tacos.
