I am pretty sure I have waxed strong on my love of fish tacos. I think I feel about the same about shrimp tacos. They were fast and good. Two things I like in a meal.

Fish Tacos

For the fish:

1 lb. tilapia fillets (or other firm white fish)

blackened seasoning (I like Zatarain's- you can find it at Walmart)

For the filling and sauce:

1/4 c. sour cream

2 Tbsp. lime juice

1/4 red cabbage, thinly shredded (about 2 1/2 c.)

4 green onions

1 jalapeno, seeded and diced

8 flour tortillas

For the fish:

Coat fish in blackened seasoning. In a large skillet heat vegetable oil (about a half inch deep) and cook fish in oil until cooked through and slightly brown.

For the filling and sauce:

Combine in a small bowl sour cream and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Combine in a large bowl cabbage, green onions and jalapeno.

Add half of the sauce to cabbage mixture.

Warm tortillas over gas burner until blistered in spots.

Serve in tortillas with fish, cabbage and extra sauce if desired.

Serves 4. Total time 45 minutes.

Verdict:

I love fish tacos. Love them. They are tasty. Yum.
