Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Tilapia Fish Tacos with Red Pepper-Lime Slaw and Blue Cheese Aioli.
Step 1
To create a delicious blue cheese aioli, start by whisking together the juice of one lime, two tablespoons of roasted red pepper oil, blue cheese dressing, mayonnaise, sour cream, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and some freshly chopped dill in a bowl.
Step 2
Mix until everything is well combined, then cover the bowl and pop the aioli into the freezer to chill while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 3
Next, grab a medium bowl and combine your coleslaw mix with the juice of another lime, half a cup of roasted red pepper oil, diced onion, and chopped roasted red pepper.
Step 4
Toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated and vibrant.
Step 5
Now, let’s move to the skillet! Heat one and a half tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat.
Step 6
Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté it for about a minute until it’s slightly browned and fragrant.
Step 7
Then, gently place the tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook them for about two minutes until they start to brown.
Step 8
Squeeze in the juice of one lime, add sour cream, a dash of cayenne pepper, Cajun seasoning, and more dill.
Step 9
Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional four minutes until the tilapia is fully cooked and beautifully browned.
Step 10
Reduce the heat to low to keep it warm.
Step 11
In a separate smaller skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 12
Add your tortillas one at a time, cooking each for about a minute per side until they’re lightly browned and bubbly.
Step 13
Now it’s time to assemble your creation! Take a warm tortilla and place a generous portion of the cooked tilapia on top.
Step 14
Add a scoop of the vibrant red pepper-lime slaw and finish it off with a drizzle of that chilled blue cheese aioli.
Step 15
Enjoy every bite of this flavorful dish that’s sure to impress!.
