Notes
Note 1: Use gluten free fish sticks if needed.
Note 2: Can swap for packaged coleslaw mix as a shortcut.
Note 3: Also can swap for preshredded carrots unless the packaged coleslaw mix already includes them.
Note 4: If spice level is a concern, start with half the amount of chipotle chili powder and taste. Add more if tolerated.
