Ingredients

48 frozen fish sticks

Homemade Tortillas, recipe follows

Cabbage Pantry Slaw, recipe follows

1 cup jarred salsa 

1 cup jarred salsa verde 

1 1/2 cups grated Colby Jack cheese 

Jarred sliced jalapenos, for topping 

3 limes, cut into wedges 

Homemade Tortillas:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1 teaspoon kosher salt 

3 tablespoons vegetable oil 

1 cup very hot water

Cabbage Pantry Slaw:

1/2 head green cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup store-bought salad dressing, such as Thousand Island or Southwest flavor 

2 tablespoons jarred jalapenos, chopped, plus 3 tablespoons liquid from the jar

One 4-ounce can diced pimentos, drained 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Cook the fish sticks according to the package directions.
  2. Pile 3 fish sticks onto each Homemade Tortilla. Add some of the Cabbage Pantry Slaw, both salsas and cheese, then top with a few slices of jalapeno and a squeeze of a lime wedge. Serve immediately.

Homemade Tortillas:

  1. In a bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Stir in the vegetable oil, then slowly pour in the hot water, stirring gently. When the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times to smooth it out.
  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Pinch off a piece of dough slightly smaller than a Ping-Pong ball and roll it into a 5-inch circle. It should be extremely thin.
  3. Cook on the dry skillet for about 1 minute on the first side, until it starts to brown a little, then flip it and cook for about 30 seconds on the second side. Remove and stack onto a kitchen towel, then repeat with the rest. As you stack the tortillas, wrap them in the kitchen towel while you cook the next ones.

Cabbage Pantry Slaw:

  1. Put the shredded cabbage in a large bowl. Add the dressing, jalapenos and their liquid, pimentos and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until thoroughly combined.

These turned out really good, who would have thought! My college age boys loved them. I made a crema cilantro sauce to drizzle over it but it would be good without it.
