Taco night at home doesn’t have to be synonymous withground beefand pre-packaged seasoning (although we have nothing against that). Upgrade your dinner with these crispy baked fish tacos with cabbage slaw, which are easier to make than they appear and taste as though they came from your favorite restaurant.
There are two tricks to making crispy fish without busting out the deep fryer: One, the breaded fish strips get a quick mist of cooking spray to help them brown nicely (we like to use arefillable aluminum oil spritzerfor eco-friendliness) and two, flipping the strips halfway through the bake will keep those dreaded soggy bottoms at bay.

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons store-bought taco seasoning

1.Make the Crispy Baked Fish:Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it generously with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until homogenous. In another wide, shallow bowl, whisk the flour with the taco seasoning to combine.
3. Working in batches, dip the fish strips into the egg and then into the flour mixture, tossing well to coat. Place the breaded fish on the baking sheet. Repeat until all the strips are breaded. Spray the top of the fish with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Bake the fish until golden brown and very crisp, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping with a spatula halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Working in batches, place 2 or 3 tortillas in the pan and heat until lightly browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Repeat until all tortillas are toasted.
7. To serve, place 3 tortillas on each plate, and fill each tortilla with 1 or 2 pieces of fish. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of slaw on top of each taco and drizzle each taco with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the reserved sour cream. Garnish each plate with cilantro.
