When Elsie and I were discussing what appetizers to make for our back porch party for some reason I had fish tacos on my mind. I love fish tacos. So that’s not all that surprising. But fish tacos aren’t really an appetizer, no, are they? But what if they were MINI fish tacos. Now we’re talking right.
2 fish fillets (any kind you prefer, I like Tilapia)
1/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 eggs
corn tortillas*
enough oil to fry the tortillas (2-3 cups, depending on your pan size)
1/3 cup mayo
1/3 cup sour cream (or greek yogurt) plus more for serving
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
3 garlic cloves
1/2 head purple cabbage
1/4 cup cilantro
For the slaw slice up the cabbage into fine shreds. Mince the garlic. In a small bowl whisk together the mayo, sour cream, vinegar and sugar. Add a little salt and pepper to season. In a gallon size zip lock bag (or large mixing bowl) combine the mayo dressing with the cabbage and garlic, mix well. Store until you are ready to garnish the tacos.
*You may be able to find mini corn tortillas. If you cannot find any in your area simply buy regular size corn tortillas and use a round cookie cutter to cut them into the size you need. Fry in enough oil so they can float for a few minutes on each side, so that they become crispy (like a tortillas chip).
To serve the mini fish tacos, layer them: tortilla, fish, slaw, a little dollop of sour cream and a cilantro leaf on top. Serve warm. Enjoy! xo. Emma

I’m not a huge fish fan, but these look super cute! What a great idea with the torillas! I’ll be trying this with chilli con carne! 🙂
This is such a cute idea. I’m not a fan of fish taco’s but I know lots of people that are and I will be passing this onto a few of them.
