Ingredients

• ¼ small red cabbage, thinly sliced
• ¼ small green cabbage, thinly sliced
• 4-5 radishes, thinly sliced
• ½ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
• ½ cup sour cream
• 8-12 corn or flour tortillas, warmed
• 2 ripe avocados, sliced
• 2 tins Fishwife Hot Pepper Sardines
• Fresh lime wedges, for serving
• Hot sauce, optional

Directions

Make the slaw. In a medium bowl, mix cabbages, radishes, cilantro, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Make the crema. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, jalapenos, lime juice, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in enough water (about a couple tablespoons) until it reaches a drizzle-able consistency.
To assemble, warm the tortillas by toasting them directly over the medium flame of a gas burner using tongs, or preheat oven to 350F, wrap them in foil and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Place the warmed tortillas on a plate. Mash avocado slices on each tortilla with the back of a fork. Top with sardines, a handful of slaw, and a drizzle of jalapeno crema. Serve immediately with fresh lime slices and hot sauce.
