Crispy fish tacos with zingy coleslaw make a Mexican-inspired dinner that everyone can make themselves at the table, full of bright colours and flavours. You might never have thought to try this with readymade fish goujons, but you’ll come back to this recipe again and again once you’ve tried it. The zingy coleslaw is much lighter than a classic coleslaw recipe as it doesn’t use mayonnaise – and the lime and chillies add plenty of zing and kick. Serve with a starter or guacamole and tortilla chips and you’ll have yourself a Mexican feast!
As the coleslaw isn’t simply decoration on the side you’ll want to make sure you do it right and we can show you exactly how to cook red cabbage in our really easy guide!
