Description

Instead of the usual battered and fried fish, these corn tortillas are filled with spicy baked fish, cabbage, and a cilantro crema. I used tilapia because it’s an inexpensive, mild fish that’s readily available in most stores. This is another great summer dinner that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CREMA:
  • ½ cups Chopped Cilantro
  • ¼ cups Chopped Chives
  • ⅓ cups Reduced Fat Sour Cream
  • ¼ cups Mayonnaise
  • ½  Lime, Juiced
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • FOR THE FISH TACOS:
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1-½ teaspoon Coriander
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1-½ pound Tilapia Fillets, Or Any Other Flaky White Fish
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, Or Nonstick Cooking Spray
  • 8 whole Corn Tortillas
  • 2 cups Shredded Red Cabbage
  • Lime Wedges, For Garnish

Preparation

Combine all the crema ingredients in a small bowl. Keep chilled until ready to use.

Preheat the oven to 450ºF. For the tacos, combine the cumin, chili powder, coriander, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over both sides of the fish. Arrange the fish on a baking sheet greased with a little olive oil or cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is flaky.

When fish is finished cooking, flake with a fork and set aside. Warm the corn tortillas in the oven or on a griddle, per instructions on the package. Fill each tortilla with equal portions of fish, cabbage, and top with cilantro crema. Garnish with lime wedges.

Excellent! My entire family loved this. The kids used flour tortillas instead of corn, but loved everything else.

This is an amazing recipe! The sauce was great and can be used over and over, I substituted with Greek yogurt and a little bit of low fat mayo. I used the leftovers to make a Tostada version. Will be making this again and again!

Excellent and so easy! I added fresh jalapenos to the cilantro crema for some extra spice!
