# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine shredded cabbage, sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt in a large bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients. Set aside to marinate while preparing other components.
02 - Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, hot sauce, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and fully incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
03 - Pat fish fillets completely dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch strips. Sprinkle both sides evenly with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, pressing gently to adhere spices.
04 - For crispy texture, dredge seasoned fish strips in flour, dip into beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure adherence.
05 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish strips in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Work in batches if necessary. For grilled fish, brush with oil and grill on medium-high heat 2-3 minutes per side.
06 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until warm and pliable, or wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
07 - Place a generous portion of slaw on each warm tortilla. Top with 2-3 fish strips. Drizzle with creamy sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
