🧂 1 teaspoon sea salt

🥣 1 cup seasoned flour
🍯 2 tablespoons sweet relish
🥬 1 small head of lettuce, shredded
🍯 2 tablespoons mustard
🥚 1 egg
🧅 1 red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
1- Prep:
- Begin by preparing your catfish fillets by washing them under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
2- Season & Coat:
- In a shallow dish, mix the seasoned flour with sea salt, ground cumin, and chili powder.
- Dip each catfish fillet into the beaten egg, and then coat them in the seasoned flour mixture.
- Ensure each fillet is evenly coated.
3- Fry the Fish:
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully lower the catfish fillets into the pan.
- Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4- Assemble Tacos:
- Warm the flatbreads in a skillet or microwave.
- Spread a layer of mayonnaise on each flatbread, then place a piece of crispy catfish on top.
- Add slices of pickle, a drizzle of Frank's RedHot sauce, a dash of sweet relish, mustard, shredded lettuce, and some thinly sliced red onions.
5- Serve:
- Fold each flatbread to form a taco.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
