Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Agave Lime Cabbage Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the agave syrup, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Set aside to marinate.

  2. 2

    Make the Chipotle Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tilapia

    Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the tilapia for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave. To each tortilla, add a portion of flaked tilapia, a generous amount of agave lime cabbage slaw, a sprinkle of queso fresco, a dollop of chipotle aioli, and a spoonful of pico de gallo.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
