Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
¼ teaspoon fajita seasoning
4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
¾ cup frozen white corn
¾ cup canned black beans
⅛ teaspoon fajita seasoning
2 pineapple rings, cut into chunks
½ small red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 avocado, sliced
⅛ head cabbage, chopped
¼ cup sour cream
½ lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon fajita seasoning over tilapia fillets and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake tilapia in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove fish from oven and cut each fillet into 3 pieces.
  • Spray a skillet with cooking spray and add corn, black beans, and 1/8 teaspoon fajita seasoning; cook and stir over medium-high heat until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Spray a separate skillet with cooking spray and add pineapple; cook and stir over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add onion to pineapple; cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute more. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat; add 4 tortillas and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds per side. Remove tortillas from skillet and repeat cooking the remaining tortillas in the remaining oil.
  • Place a piece of tilapia onto each tortilla and top with corn mixture, pineapple mixture, cilantro, avocado, cabbage, sour cream and a squeeze of lime.

TILAPIA FISH TACOS



Tilapia Fish Tacos image

I found that these are a great way to get a bit more fish into our diet, plus they taste great. And by not frying the fish, these are pretty healthy, depending on your toppings. I love topping them with a mango or pineapple salsa and homemade coleslaw.

CRISPY TILAPIA FISH TACOS WITH SLAW



Crispy Tilapia Fish Tacos with Slaw image

Best fish tacos ever. Anybody who eats these is going to tell you to go open your own restaurant immediately. I've had plenty of people tell me "I don't like fish, but these tacos are amazing!" My secret in this recipe is the diet ginger ale. A lot of people use ginger beer, but I like the diet ginger ale because I find the batter is lighter and more crispy with all the flavor you get from ginger beer. Make 'em, eat 'em, love 'em, add them to your rotation. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired.

Categories     Mexican Fish Tacos

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped pickles
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups chopped cabbage
½ cup shredded carrots
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ cup diet ginger ale
1 pound tilapia (bream), raw
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Mix mayonnaise, onion, pickles, and lemon juice for tartar sauce in a bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix garlic and ginger with rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over slaw and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a deep pot over medium heat.
  • While oil is heating, mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Slowly add ginger ale and mix to combine. You don't want the batter to be overly thick; excess batter should be able to coat the fish entirely, but still be able to drip off.
  • Pat tilapia chunks dry and dredge in the batter until thoroughly coated.
  • Test the oil by adding a few drops of batter in it; when the batter begins to bubble and float, the oil is ready. Working in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot, carefully lower some tilapia into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining tilapia.
  • To serve, place slaw on warm tortillas. Top with tilapia and tartar sauce.

  • If baking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat the tilapia dry, then sprinkle it with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and pat it in. Add the Fish Taco Seasoning or Fajita Seasoning and pat it to cover the fish. Place the fish on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, until tender, then broil for 2 minutes until the top is lightly browned. Or broil on High for 2 to 3 minutes per side (4 to 6 minutes total), until cooked through and it flakes with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the cabbage. Shred or grate the carrot (we used a handheld julienne peeler). Thinly slice the green onion. Place the cabbage, carrots and green onion in a bowl. Stir in the lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon celery salt. Serve immediately with a slotted spoon. The slaw picks up moisture as it sits; if you plan to let it sit, make sure to serve with the slotted spoon to strain out the moisture.
  • If desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. Or warm them according to How to Warm Tortillas.
