Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick and Easy Fish Tacos.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine reduced-fat sour cream and fresh lime juice, then season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
Step 3
Set aside half of this creamy mixture for later use.
Step 4
Next, finely mince half of a jalapeño pepper and stir it into the bowl with the remaining sour cream mixture.
Step 5
Toss in some shredded red cabbage and sliced green onions, mixing everything together until the slaw is beautifully combined and vibrant.
Step 6
Now, let’s heat things up! In a large skillet, warm some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Add the other half of the jalapeño to the oil for a flavorful kick.
Step 8
Season your tilapia strips with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then gently place them in the skillet.
Step 9
Cook the fish in two batches, frying for about 5 to 6 minutes until they turn golden brown and flake easily with a fork.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the jalapeño and set it aside.
Step 11
While the fish is sizzling, warm your flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until they’re soft and pliable.
Step 12
Now comes the fun part—assembling your tacos! Place the perfectly cooked fish into the warmed tortillas, then generously top them with the zesty cabbage slaw, drizzle on the reserved sour cream mixture, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro.
Step 13
Enjoy your delicious creation, and savor every bite of these flavorful tacos!.
