Crispy Fish tacos with spicy slaw in plantain wraps


Delicious. Even as I sit here I want to go downstairs and eat another one. Only problem is my husband isn't home yet and the rest of it is for him. But then again....if he's not here....maybe he'll never know.....

But I digress. This recipe came from The Happy Housewife. Find it here. I did one change to make this Whole30 compliant: left out the honey in the slaw. Be warned, the slaw was spicy. My little kids didn't like it so I just gave them plain cabbage in their tacos.

The plantain wraps I've made before and I love them.They are from AJ at Healthfest.

Plantain Tortillas
Ingredients for 8-10 tortillas:
– 3 plantains, the greener the better
– 2 egg whites
– 4 tbsp coconut oil
– 1 tbsp cumin
– 2 tbsp lime juice
What to do:
1) Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel and cut plantains into chunks. Blend in a food processor or blender.
2) Add the rest of the ingredients and blend again.
3) Spread parchment paper over a baking sheet. Scoop a little less than 1/4 cup batter on to the parchment and use the bottom of a measuring cup to spread it out into a circle. I fit four tortilla circles on one baking sheet, but you can make them bigger or smaller depending on what you want.
4) Bake for 12 minutes until you can peel the tortilla off the parchment.
The taco toppings are up to you – be creative! I like fresh avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and onion. The roasted tomatillo salsa is a delicious topping. This Peach-Mango Salsa is a breeze and it’s a perfect balance to the spice of the pork.
And the guacamole is my tried and true recipe. My favorite. I've tried other ones but always come back to this. 
Guacamole!!
4 ripe avocados, mashed
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 limes (zest of one, juice of both)
1 cup cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, finely diced
1/4 medium red onion, diced
salt, to taste (I actually rarely even put in salt!)
Mix it all up! I like to make mine at least a couple of hours before we eat, so I can put it into the fridge and let the flavors come together. This guac is so good on everything :) 

Let me know if you make these tacos. It wasn't too hard and SUPER good!
