Crispy Fish Tacos with Lime Slaw
30 minServes 4

Ingredients

  • 1⅓ lb tilapia
  • 12 flour tortillas
  • 4 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 4 cups spring mix
  • 6 tbsp guacamole
  • 4 tbsp chipotle sauce
  • 4 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Mexican seasoning

Method

  1. Pat tilapia dry with paper towel. Season both sides with Mexican seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large frying pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add tilapia and cook about 3 minutes per side, until it flakes easily with a fork. Break into large pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss cabbage, spring mix, rice vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry frying pan or microwave. Spread with chipotle sauce and guacamole. Add fish and slaw.
Kitchen tool tip: A thin fish spatula makes it easier to lift the tilapia without breaking it. See how a fish spatula differs from a regular spatula.
