Sweet & Smoky Fish Tacos
Fish tacos get a smoky-sweet crunch upgrade. Crush Sweet & Smokey Pepper Mitten Chips on top for texture that transforms every bite.
Fish tacos live or die on contrast, and what they usually miss is crunch. The common fix is a heavy beer batter that buries the fish. We go a different route: a scatter of crushed Sweet & Smokey Pepper Mitten Chips right before serving. You get the fried-taco crackle without the fryer, and the oak-smoked sweet pepper plays off flaky cod or mahi instead of masking it. Add the chips last so they hit the table crunchy.
What You'll Need
Let's Make Magic
Cook the Fish
Season fish fillets with salt and pepper. Pan-sear or grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until flaky.
Warm Tortillas
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame. Layer with shredded cabbage as the crunchy base.
Assemble Tacos
Break fish into large chunks and place on cabbage. Top with avocado slices, chipotle mayo drizzle, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
Add the Crunch
Crush Sweet & Smokey Pepper Mitten Chips and scatter over each taco. The smoky-sweet crunch is the star of the dish.
