Fish Tacos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tilapia

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Season the tilapia fillets with cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer flaked tilapia, a generous spoonful of spicy cabbage slaw, a drizzle of chipotle mayo, and top with pico de gallo. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve tacos immediately while warm, with extra lime wedges on the side.
