Pan-fried Fish Tacos

Simple and Easy Pan-Fried Fish Taco Recipe

Makes about 5-6 Tacos

Ingredients:

Corn Tortillas (I get the ones from Trader Joe’s)
1/2 lb of fresh Tilapia Filets
3/4 cup flour
tsp of salt (to taste)
tsp of crushed black pepper (to taste)
vegetable oil for frying
1 bag of cole slaw (available near other bagged salads)
2 limes

Mango Salsa:

• 1 Ripe Mango, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, diced
• 1/4 cup sweet bell peppers, diced
• 1 Tbsp of cilantro
• 1 small jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (can take out seeds if you don’t want it to be too spicy)
• 1/2 of a lime
• 1/2 of a lemon

Put all ingredients (except lime and lemon) in a bowl and mix with spoon. Squeeze in the juice from the lime and lemon. Mix well one more time and it’s ready as salsa topping.

Spicy Mayo:

• 1/4 cup of sour cream
• 2 Tsp mayo
• 1-2 tsp of Sriracha (depending on how spicy you want it)

Mix the sour cream, mayo and Sriracha together in a bowl till it’s even. We like ours nice and spicy and will add more Sriracha individually. It’s really just your preference.

Instructions:

Start by mixing the flour, salt and pepper together in a bowl. You don’t need a big bowl, just something large enough to coat the fish in. Lightly coat the fish with the flour, salt and pepper mixture. The goal here is to provide a light flavor and some extra crunch to the fish beyond just the oil. This isn’t a beer batter in case you were wondering. (Beer batter is quite easy though) Once you’ve coated your fish in the mixture.

Coat your frying pan with a generous amount of vegetable oil. Once it reaches a medium to hot temperature, go ahead and drop in your fish and fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden. Set these aside on a paper towel to reduce the oil.

Now you’re ready to get the tacos built!

1. Take a corn tortilla, heat it up on a pan.
2. Add in the fish as your base.
3. Coat one side of your tortilla with the spicy mayo sauce
4. Now add in a generous amount of Cole Slaw
5. Lastly add some mango salsa
6. Seal the deal with some fresh lime!
7. ENJOY and be HAPPY! =D 

Take a bite!! Enjoy it! Making these fish tacos is just as fun as eating them! They’re great for a light summer dinner party!
