Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make a spice blend.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel, then evenly coat them with the spice blend.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and gently break the fish into large chunks.
In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt or sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to create the lime crema. Add hot sauce if desired for extra spice.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix on each tortilla, followed by chunks of cooked tilapia. Drizzle with lime crema and garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
