Tacos Instructions
1

In a medium saucepan, heat one teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add the hearts of palm and green onions. Mash with a fork and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool. When cool, stir in Old Bay seasoning, lime juice, and cayenne pepper.

2

Mix in 5 tablespoons of flour, one tablespoon at a time to incorporate.

3

Mix in the crumbled toasted nori sheet, if using.

4

Using your hands, form mixture into 16 “fish” sticks or 8 patties. Set up dredge and breading station using pie plates or similar wide containers. Dredge each piece first in the flour, next dip in milk, and then roll in breadcrumbs.

5

Heat oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Place as many fish sticks or patties as can fit in a skillet without touching. Pan-fry 2 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

6

To assemble, place fish stick or patty on a warm tortilla. Top with a spoonful of mango coleslaw, and garnish with Chipotle Mayo Sauce, fresh chopped cilantro, and chopped green onion.
