Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into eighths
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 garlic cloves, minced, divided
1 lime, juice and zest of
kosher salt
pepper
3 cups napa cabbage, shredded
1 1/2 cups carrots, grated
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
hot sauce
1 lb tilapia fillet, cut into 8 pieces
whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used canola)
4 (8 inch) corn tortillas
jalapeno pepper, sliced, garnish
fresh cilantro, chopped, garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, combine the avocado, buttermilk, 1 garlic clove, lime juice and salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the coleslaw ingredients (cabbage, remaining garlic and next 4 ingredients (-hot sauce) and the remaining garlic. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat a heavy skillet (I used cast iron) and toast tortillas one at a time, 30 seconds or so per side - as they cook place them on a sheet of foil - wrap foil around them and place in oven to keep warm.
  • In a pie pan combine 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Dredge each piece of fish in mixture, shaking off excess.
  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and add half of the fish to the pan, cook turning once until golden. Transfer fish to an oven-safe place and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remainder of the fish.
  • To serve: top each tortilla with a bit of the avocado sauce, then a piece of fish and then with the cabbage mixture (which should have been drained or excess liquid). Serve with jalapenos and cilantro.
