Dipping Mixtures

In a shallow bowl add: Corn meal, coriander, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, brown sugar and stir until combined.

In second shallow bowl whisk together the eggs and hot sauce.

Take one fish strip at a time and place in the egg mixture and then dredge in the cornmeal mixture and place onto a cooling rack repeat until all are coated.

In a cast Iron skillet on medium-heat, heat skillet and add the olive oil. Then cook 5 coated fish strips at a time, cooking around 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat in cooking in batches adding more oil as needed.

Place one strip onto a warmed corn tortilla and add toppings.
