With the [AutoFry®](http://www.autofry.com), you can turn frozen, pre-cooked breaded fish filets into golden, crispy taco perfection in minutes. The best part? [No hoods, no fuss, and a whole lot of flavor.](https://blog.mtiproducts.com/ventless-cooking-technology-how-mtis-autofry-is-transforming-commercial-kitchens)

These tacos are crunchy, tangy, and just the right amount of spicy — a flavor party wrapped in a tortilla. Perfect for casual menus, special events, or just when your customers are craving something fresh and fun.

**Ingredients (Makes 6 tacos)<http://www.autofry.com>**

- 6 frozen pre-cooked breaded fish filets 
- 6 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage 
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup diced mango 
- ¼ cup thinly sliced jalapeños 
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving

**Chipotle Lime Crema**

- ½ cup sour cream 
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce 
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt to taste

**Directions**

1. **Fry the Fish** 
     - Place frozen breaded fish filets in the AutoFry. Input a 4 minute cook time and AutoFry will take it from there. Keep warm under heat lamp until assembly.
2. **Make the Slaw** 
     - In a bowl, toss shredded cabbage and carrots with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt. For extra flavor, add diced mango for sweetness and jalapeños for heat.
3. **Blend the Crema** 
     - In a food processor or blender, combine sour cream, chipotle pepper, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and zesty.
4. **Assemble the Tacos** 
     - Layer each tortilla with slaw, top with a crispy fish filet, drizzle with chipotle lime crema, and garnish with cilantro leaves.
5. **Serve & Squeeze** 
     - Finish with a fresh squeeze of lime and serve immediately.
