Coastal Town Fish Tacos with Zesty Slaw

Directions
- 1
In a shallow dish, combine flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the fish strips in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry fish for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

While fish cooks, prepare the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine sliced red cabbage, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss to coat.

For the spicy crema: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha until smooth.

Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions (microwave, dry skillet, or oven).
