For extra crispy fish, double dredge it in the flour mixture before coating in the egg. If you don't have chipotle chiles, a pinch of smoked paprika can add a similar smoky flavor to the salsa. Feel free to add other toppings like avocado, cilantro, or pickled onions.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the dredging station: Place 1/2 cup of flour in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, combine the remaining flour with panko bread crumbs, seasoned salt, garlic powder, lemon pepper, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. In a third shallow dish, whisk the eggs. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat the oil: Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. (3 minutes)
03
StepFry the fish: Dredge each piece of fish in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko-flour mixture. Gently place the coated fish in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (8-10 minutes)
04
StepWarm the tortillas: Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds, until pliable. (2-3 minutes)
05
StepMake the Chipotle-Lime Salsa: In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing, salsa, minced chipotle chile, and lime juice. (2 minutes)
06
StepAssemble the tacos: Divide the fried fish evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top with a generous spoonful of the chipotle-lime salsa and a sprinkle of shredded cabbage. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
