Ingredients

🐟 4 fillets of catfish
🌽 8 flatbreads (pita, naan)
🥄 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
🥒 8 slices of pickles
🌶️ 4 teaspoons Frank's RedHot hot sauce
🧂 1 teaspoon sea salt
🫙 1 teaspoon ground cumin
🌶 1 teaspoon chili powder
🥣 1 cup seasoned flour
🍯 2 tablespoons sweet relish
🥬 1 small head of lettuce, shredded
🍯 2 tablespoons mustard
🥚 1 egg
🧅 1 red onion, thinly sliced


Instructions

1- Prep:

  • Begin by preparing your catfish fillets by washing them under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.

2- Season & Coat:

  • In a shallow dish, mix the seasoned flour with sea salt, ground cumin, and chili powder.
  • Dip each catfish fillet into the beaten egg, and then coat them in the seasoned flour mixture.
  • Ensure each fillet is evenly coated.

3- Fry the Fish:

  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully lower the catfish fillets into the pan.
  • Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4- Assemble Tacos:

  • Warm the flatbreads in a skillet or microwave.
  • Spread a layer of mayonnaise on each flatbread, then place a piece of crispy catfish on top.
  • Add slices of pickle, a drizzle of Frank's RedHot sauce, a dash of sweet relish, mustard, shredded lettuce, and some thinly sliced red onions.

5- Serve:

  • Fold each flatbread to form a taco.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
