But the real star of the recipe is the handmade corn tortilla: they're not as labor-intensive as they sound, and increase the flavor tenfold.

Mealthy Tip

The corn tortillas can be stored in a Ziploc bag and stored for up to two weeks in the fridge. If you don't have time to make your own, be sure to pick up good quality tortillas at the grocery store—all the better if they're handmade. They really do make such a difference in the flavor of the tacos.

Aja A says:

There is a lot going on in this taco which hits you with so many flavors. I had a bit of trouble trying to make my own tortillas, so I will need to practice that a bit. The added spices made a bland cod pretty flavorful and the coleslaw was tart and crisp.

Sam Dalton says:

These tacos were really good. I especially loved the lemon cabbage slaw. The fish was also delicious, I added extra meat to mine. Perfect for taco night at my house.

Jessica Scott says:

I'll admit, I tried this recipe just for the homemade corn tortillas. Everything was so delicious, so impressive! From the cod, to the slaw, to the fraiche - this is definitely one for the books. Slightly labor intensive, but worth it.
