Tilapia Fish Tacos Recipe

Mexican · Main course · 30 min total

Crispy, flavorful tilapia fillets in warm corn tortillas with a zesty slaw and creamy chipotle sauce. These tacos are quick, easy, and perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb tilapia fillets
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco (optional)

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Pat tilapia fillets dry, then dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tilapia for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and flake into chunks.
3. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, chipotle peppers, and lime juice to make the sauce.
4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble tacos: fill each tortilla with cabbage, fish, cilantro, sauce, and queso fresco if using. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra crunch, toast tortillas directly over a gas flame.
• Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to lighten the sauce.
• Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
