Time 30m

Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds tilapia fillets, about 5
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Kosher salt
1 to 1 1/2 cups water
3 cups canola oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoon garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
8 corn tortillas
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded (reserve remaining half for Round 2 Recipe, Bean and Cheese Chalupas)

Steps:

  • Cut the fish into 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Reserve 1 fillet and refrigerate for the online Round 2 Recipe, Ceviche.)
  • To make the batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in enough water, about 1 to 1 1/2 cups, until the mixture is the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
  • When the oil is hot, working in batches, dip the fish pieces into the batter and carefully add them to the hot oil. Cook the fish until golden brown on both sides and the fish is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Remove from the pan and drain on to a sheet tray lined with a paper bag or paper towels.
  • To make the sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice, garlic, and 2 tablespoons cilantro in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and microwave on medium for 1 minute to warm. Put about 1/4 cup of the shredded cabbage on each tortilla. Put 3 pieces of the fried fish on top of the cabbage, then top with some sauce. Arrange the tacos on a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve immediately.

EASY SHEET PAN FISH TACOS

Flaky white fish with crusty, caramelized edges is topped with a cilantro slaw and drizzled with a smoky sour cream sauce in this simple fish taco recipe. Baking the fish on a sheet pan is a little heathier and a lot less messy than frying it, and means cleanup will be a breeze! For family dinners or casual get-togethers, set this up as a taco bar with other toppings such as pico de gallo, avocado slices, pickled red onions, crumbled cotija cheese, and black beans.
