Fish Tacos With Cabbage Salsa and Yogurt Sauce image

Was a line cook at a Mexican place back in college and have been making these things ever since. Very easy to make, and the components are very interchangeable.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ medium head cabbage, shredded
2 medium tomatoes, chopped, or more to taste
2 cups chopped fresh cilantro, divided
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
¼ cup honey
4 medium limes, juiced, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, or more to taste
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided, or to taste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon sumac powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Combine cabbage, tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups cilantro, jalapeno pepper, honey, and 3/4 of the lime juice in a big bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix yogurt and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise in a small bowl. Add remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, remaining lime juice, dill, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne and season with salt. If it's too tart for your taste, add more mayonnaise.
  • Mix oregano, sumac, cumin, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon cayenne in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Rub spice mix onto both sides of the tilapia fillets.
  • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tilapia and cook until blackened and fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat.
  • Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 30 to 60 seconds per side.
  • Put some blackened tilapia in each tortilla and top with cabbage salsa. Fold in half and return to the hot skillet to lightly crisp on each side. Serve immediately with yogurt sauce on the side, to be used as a dip.
