Spicy Fish Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, halved lengthwise
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound tilapia fillets, cut into strips
  • 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Combine the sour cream with freshly squeezed lime juice in a large container; add salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside approximately half of the mixture for later use.
3
Chop one-half of a jalapeño pepper; reserve the other half for future reference. Mix the remaining cabbage, green onions, and chopped jalapeño pepper into the sour cream mixture until it is well combined.
4
Heat olive oil and the reserved jalapeño pepper in a large skillet over medium heat; stir the oil to coat the skillet evenly. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
5
Cook the fish strips in batches in the skillet for 5-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and easily flaked with a fork. Discard the used jalapeño pepper.
6
Warm tortillas in the microwave on high for 20-30 seconds.
7
Serve the fish strips inside warmed tortillas, accompanied by a cabbage slaw made with the reserved sour cream mixture, additional chopped cilantro, and the remaining cabbage, green onions, and chopped jalapeño pepper.
