After eating delicious fish tacos at local restaurants, I’ve combined my favorite aspects into this one fresh recipe for crispy tilapia tacos.
Ingredients
Slaw
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage, or more to taste
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 green apple, shredded
- 2 green onions, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
- 2 small limes, juiced
Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, crushed, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon ketchup
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil for frying
- 2 tilapia fillets
- 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed
- 3 thinly sliced radishes
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Combine cabbage, carrot, apple, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice for slaw in a bowl. Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, ketchup, and salt for sauce in a separate bowl.
Step 2
Place flour in a shallow bowl. Place beaten egg in a second bowl. Combine panko, cumin, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.
Step 4
While oil is heating, clean and dry tilapia and cut into 2-inch pieces. Dredge in flour, then egg, then panko mixture.
Step 5
Lower fish carefully into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 6
Fill tortillas with fish. Top with slaw, mayonnaise sauce, and radishes. Serve with lime wedges.
