Description
A tasty and quick way to use leftover fried seafood or a delicious tilapia!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. fresh tilapia fillets
- 3 limes
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 6-inch flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded angel hair cabbage (I prefer it thin)
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Rinse fish and pat dry. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
- For lime sauce, juice two of the limes into a bowl (cut your 3rd lime into wedges for serving). Stir mayonnaise and chili powder into juice. Transfer 1/3 cup of the sauce to another bowl and toss fish in this. Set remaining sauce aside.
- In a medium to large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Combine flour and salt in a shallow dish. Work with about 1/3 of the fish chunks at a time, toss them in the flour and add to hot oil. Cook for 2-4 minutes or until fish flakes easily, turning to brown evenly. Add more oil as needed. Drain fish on paper towels.
- Wrap tortillas in paper towels (loved this. worked great!) and heat in microwave oven for 30 seconds. Top tortillas with fish, cabbage, carrots and jalapeno. Drizzle with Lime Sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
