Fish Tacos
"Crispy pan-fried fish, crunchy slaw, zippy lime crema — taco Tuesday just got a Costco-sized upgrade."
The Game Plan
-
Thaw tilapia if frozen (quickest: submerge sealed bag in cold water for 20 minutes). Pat fillets completely dry.
-
Mix cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat both sides of each fillet with the spice mix.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook fillets 3–4 minutes per side until golden and flaky. Break into large chunks.
-
Make the lime crema: stir together sour cream, mayo, and half the lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt.
-
Toss shredded cabbage with remaining lime juice and a pinch of salt.
-
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds per side.
-
Build tacos: tortilla, cabbage slaw, fish chunks, drizzle of lime crema, cilantro, and hot sauce.
