Fish Tacos with Lime Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1
    pound fresh tilapia or catfish fillets
  • 3
    limes
  • 1/2
    cup mayonnaise
  • 1
    teaspoon chili powder
  • 2
    tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1/3
    cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt
  • 8
    6 - 7 inches flour tortillas
  • 1
    cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2
    cup shredded carrots (2 small or 1 medium)
  • 1
    jalapeno or serrano pepper, thinly sliced
Directions

1. Rinse fish and pat dry. Cut into 1-inch pieces.

2. For lime sauce, juice two of the limes into a bowl (cut remaining lime into wedges for serving). Stir mayonnaise and chili powder into juice. Transfer 1/3 cup of the sauce to another bowl; toss fish in it. Set aside remaining sauce.

3. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. In a shallow dish combine flour and salt. Working with about a third of the fish at a time, toss fish in flour mixture and add to hot oil. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes, turning to brown evenly and adding additional oil as needed. Drain fish on paper towels.

4. Wrap tortillas in paper towels; heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Top tortillas with fish, cabbage, carrots, and jalapeno. Drizzle with Lime Sauce and serve with lime wedges.

This is a definite keeper! My husband couldn't stop saying how much he loved them! I also used the prepackaged coleslaw to save some time.

adapts well for gluten free- just use corn tortillas and a gluten free flour mix instead of all-purpose flour and flour tortillas.

Easy to execute and the lime sauce is good but the fish was a bit lacking. I'd suggest maybe adding some chipotle to the sauce and using a combo of flour and corn meal for a little extra flavor and crunch. We also used corn tortillas to make them a bit more authentic and included some slices of avacado and tomato. Notice there is some Tabasco in the picture!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Save the money and cook this at home! The sauce is YUM-O! I just buy the cole slaw mix in the package in the produce area. It has carrots already in it. (LAZY does it!) If you use a brush to brush the sauce on the tilapia, it works great. The sauce is what makes these so tasty! Add this one to your favorites!
