Heat oven to 250°. Place tortillas in foil and warm in the oven. Heat a grill (or sauté pan) to medium high heat. Drain the fish and grill/sauté for 2 – 3 minutes on each side until opaque. Assemble tacos: Place two tortillas one on top of the other on a plate. Place a portion of slaw on top. Top slaw with a slice of fish. Then finish with a spoonful of pico.
