  • When selecting the cabbage, make sure to buy fresh and crisp looking heads.
  • For the fish, choose a mild variety such as blue grenadier or pink ling.

  • Substitute the white fish with salmon for a richer flavor. Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for maintaining a healthy heart and brain.
  • Substitute the mayonnaise and sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option. Greek yogurt is a good source of protein and probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health.

We enjoyed the fish burritos with the coleslaw -- coleslaw was outstanding. For the fish I used tilapia which worked very well in this recipe. Delicious and very easy too! Thanks for sharing!
