Tilapia Fish Tacos

⏱ Prep: 15 min ⏱ Cook: 20 min

Ingredients

  • 2 large bs. tilapia fillet
  • 8 piece inch diameter flour tortilla
  • 1 cup tomato (diced)
  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 3.25 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 piece lime
  • 1 cup purple cabbage (thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium jalapeño (chopped)
  • 4 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, create the salsa fresca by combining tomatoes, cilantro, onion, jalapeño, olive oil, and juice of 1 lime. Mix gently. Set aside.

  2. Rub salt and chili powder on the tilapia fillets.

  3. Heat a pan and sear both sides of the tilapia until fully cooked. This might take about 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the fillet. Remove the fish from the pan and chop into serving pieces (about 1 x 1 inch).

  4. Cover the tortilla with paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.

  5. Lay each flour tortilla in a flat surface. Arrange about 1/2 cup of chopped tilapia, salsa fresca, and chopped cabbage over each tortilla. Top with a tablespoon of sour cream, and squeeze a little lime juice.

  6. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve.

  7. Share and enjoy!
