Best Fish Tacos And Cilantro Coleslaw 20 Minutes Max Recipes

GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CREAMY CILANTRO COLESLAW

Steps:

• Quarter and thinly slice the cabbage; put in a large bowl. Mix sour cream, onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, garlic, and salt in a separate bowl. Pour sour cream mixture over the cabbage and toss to combine. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Place fish in the bowl and evenly coat with marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• While the fish is marinating, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Sprinkle fish with remaining salt and pepper. Place on the preheated grill and cook until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Divide fish among tortillas and top with coleslaw, avocados, tomatoes, and cilantro.

WALKING FISH TACOS WITH CRUNCHY CABBAGE SLAW AND CILANTRO DRESSING

Steps:

• For the cilantro lime sour cream: Combine the sour cream, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the red cabbage slaw: Combine the lime juice, cabbage, onion, oil, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and massage for 2 minutes to soften the cabbage and distribute all ingredients evenly.
• For the fish: Mix the cayenne, cumin and paprika with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper in a dish and sprinkle all over the fish. Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in another shallow dish, then put the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
• Coat the fish all over in the flour and then the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a thin layer (about 1/4 cup) of oil. Fry the fish until golden and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into strips.
• To serve: Fill paper bags with chips (or open small bags of store-bought ones) and crush them coarsely. Top with a big plop of cilantro-lime sour cream, some fish, a squeeze of lime, slaw, avocado, jalapeños and a pile of fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

FISH TACOS WITH CILANTRO CHIPOTLE SLAW

Steps:

• Mix the marinade ingredients together in a blender. Except the fish, as we're not making cat food.
• Pour the marinade into a big zip top bag with the fish and let it sit for about 30 minutes at the most.
• In a food processor, combine all of the slaw ingredients except the cabbage. Spin it up until you have a smoothish dressing.
• Pour the slaw dressing over the cabbage and toss to combine. Let it chill in the fridge until dinner is ready. Normally I would make any coleslaw a day ahead of time, but for this, I still want a good crunch to the cabbage.
• Mix the Masa, the salt and 1 cup of the water in a bowl by hand.
• Only add enough of the remaining water tot he dough so it is workable enough to form a golf ball sized ball that can be flattened out without it crumbling apart.
• Divide the dough into 16 equally sized balls.
• Break out your tortilla press and flatten each dough ball into a small round. Or if you're like me, break out the tortilla press, then break the press after the third tortilla and resort to parchment paper, a heavy pan with a smooth bottom and a rolling pin.
• Cook the tortillas on a med-high hot dry pan or an electric griddle for about 1 minute per side. You'll have to eyeball the time depending on how hot your "med-high" is.
• I followed Alton Browns tip on keeping my tortillas hot and ready by wrapping them in a tea towel sitting on a heating pad. Yes, I am that much of a geek that I have a heating pad in the kitchen.
• Get a large non stick pan heated over medium ready with half the oil.
• Place your fish in the pan, careful not to crowd the pan, and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. This is really up to you and how "done" you like your fish and also the type and thickness of the fish you're cooking. I look for just opaque in the center.
• Extract the first batch and cover with foil while the second batch cooks.
• I like the two tortilla shingle method myself with the fish on the bottom and the slaw on top. You can throw some diced tomatoes on top or maybe a squeeze of lime if you think it's necessary. I like to keep it simple.

HEALTHY FISH TACOS WITH CILANTRO SLAW

Steps:

• Combine tilapia strips and 1/2 cup lime juice in a glass container. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
• Combine yogurt, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, hot sauce, and salt for spicy dressing in a blender or food processor; pulse until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
• When ready to cook the tilapia, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove tilapia from the lime juice and shake off excess. Place in a small baking dish. Discard the remaining lime juice.
• Whisk 1/3 cup lime juice, honey powder, avocado oil, cumin, and paprika for honey-cumin sauce together in a small bowl. Pour over tilapia to cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare slaw: Combine green and red cabbage, carrots, and cilantro in a bowl. Remove spicy dressing from the refrigerator and pour all but 1/4 cup over the slaw; toss to combine.
• Build tacos by putting 1 tablespoon remaining spicy dressing on each tortilla. Top with tilapia strips, slaw, and tomatoes.
