- 5Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over medium; heat tortillas, in batches, 15 seconds each side. Wrap tortillas in foil to keep warm.

The fish can be prepared 4 hours ahead to the end of step 1. Avocado cream and coleslaw (without the orange juice) can also be prepared 4 hours ahead; add juice to coleslaw just before serving.
