Directions:Cut fillets into rough 1 in. x 1 in. pieces, dip each piece into raw beaten egg mix, place each piece into breadcrumbs and coat, fry in vegetable oil on medium-high heat
Add sour cream (~1/2 cup) to 4 cups of finely shredded cabbage, mix well and slowly add rice vinegar to taste - cabbage should be coated lightly and it should taste tart
Lightly brush corn tortillas with vegetable oil and saute until light brown, warm and slightly crispy - immediately fold to desired shape and let cool
Place fried fish pieces in bottom of folded tortilla, cover with shredded cheese then fill taco most of the way with cabbage - top with salsa, lime, and Tabasco. |

Notes: This is a California favorite and probably comes from Baja. While the "Italian style" breadcrumbs are not authentic, they are the easiest. Make sure the cabbage mix is tart - the rich fried fish, salty cheese, tart cabbage/salsa, and hot tabasco all balance out. These tacos are best served with ice cold beer.
