Quick Fish Tacos

Recipe View Prepare Ingredients (5 min): Gather all ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go.

Recipe View Prepare Lime Crema (5 min): In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture in half, reserving one half for serving.

Recipe View Make Jalapeño Slaw (10 min): Mince half of the jalapeño pepper (use caution when handling peppers). In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, sliced green onions, and minced jalapeño. Toss with the remaining sour cream mixture until well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Recipe View Cook the Tilapia (10 min): Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining jalapeño half to infuse the oil with flavor. Season the tilapia strips with salt and pepper.

Recipe View Pan-fry Fish (6-8 min): Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, pan-fry the tilapia strips until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Discard the jalapeño half from the skillet.

Recipe View Warm Tortillas (1 min): Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for 20-30 seconds, or until pliable.

Recipe View Assemble Tacos (5 min): Fill each warmed tortilla with the pan-fried tilapia, followed by a generous topping of the cabbage slaw, a drizzle of the reserved lime crema, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
