Instructions
- In a bowl, add all of your cabbage slaw ingredients and toss to coat. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
- In another small bowl, mix together your mayo and dijon, also set aside in the fridge.
- On a plate, season your fish well with spices on both sides.
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil, once hot, add your fish and cook for 4-6min depending on the thickness of the fillets then flip and cook for another 4-6min. Remove from the heat, place in a bowl and break into smaller chunks.
- Assemble your tacos by slicing your wraps in half and spreading 1 1/2 tsp of the tartar sauce in the middle of the wrap, top that with the cabbage slaw, avocado chunks, fish, then ~2 tsp dijon mayo and optional pico de Gallo, salsa & cilantro. Repeat for the rest of the tacos (use double of each ingredient if making a 4 giant tacos).

Notes
Tips For Making These Keto Friendly Fish Tacos
- Use whichever fish you prefer for these tacos, personally we've used haddock, tilapia and cod but I would love to try grouper or mani mahi if I could get my hands on some!
- Feel free to switch up the sauces and filling depending on preference.
- To add more flavour, use a marinate like this one on your fish ahead of time and then cook it a few hours later!
- Nutrition would be 12g of NET Carbs & 509 calories if using 2 flat out, fold it 5 grain flax wraps
Can I lower the carbs and calories of these fish tacos?
- Yes! You definitely can. Try making these in lettuce wraps instead of low carb tortillas to lower the calories AND carbohydrates.
- To keep the flavour but decrease the carbs, fry your fish in a low carb batter like this one before placing in lettuce wraps
