📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the slaw:
2
In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle chiles, lime juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Stir in cabbage, cilantro, and scallions. Cover and chill while preparing the fish.

To make the fish:
4
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, coriander, and cumin. Pat fish dry with paper towels and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Rub with spice mixture, then season with salt and pepper (refrigerate while preparing the grill).

5
Preheat grill over high heat for ⏱️ 10 minutes and leave burners on high. Clean grate, then rub generously with well-oiled paper towels until grate is black and glossy, about 5 to 10 times.
6
Place fish on grill, ideally in a direction that is perpendicular to the bars of the cooking grate (the world won't end if your grill marks are different). Cook until the fish flakes apart when gently poked with a paring knife, about 10 to ⏱️ 14 minutes, gently flipping fish halfway through cooking time using 2 spatulas (fish should register 145 degrees on an internal thermometer). Transfer fish to platter, tent with foil, and let rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes while grilling tortillas.
7
Working in batches, place several tortillas in a single layer on grill and cook until warm, about ⏱️ 10 seconds per side. Wrap tortillas in a clean dish towel or large sheet of foil.
8
To serve, cut each fish filet into 3 equal pieces. Serve with warmed tortillas, cabbage slaw, and lime wedges.
