Instructions
- Cook fish sticks according to the package directions. I recommend cooking them for the maximum time (maybe slightly longer) to ensure that you get really crispy fish sticks for the tacos. Be sure and flip them halfway through the cook time so both sides can crisp up.1 box (12-24 pieces) crispy fish sticks, fillets, or fingers

Stir to combine.1 bag (10 oz) angel hair cabbage, 1 can (11 oz) mexicorn, 1 small red onion, 1 cup shredded or crumbled queso fresco, 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Notes
For my large family of 6, I always cook about 24 fish sticks so that we can all have two tacos. I love the fish sticks from Costco!
If you are serving a crowd, I would double the fish sticks but leave the cabbage recipe as is. Unless, you know people will want lots of the cabbage slaw on their tacos, then go ahead and double. But for a weeknight family meal, the cabbage slaw recipe as is makes plenty for everyone!
The angel hair cabbage is just shredded cabbage. You will find it by the other bagged salads in the produce area of the grocery store.
If you're not familiar with queso fresco it is a Mexican cheese that is so yummy and salty. Perfect for fish tacos. You will find it in the cheese aisle with the bagged and blocked cheese, or even by the specialty cheeses.
