Ingredients
– 4 tilapia fillets
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon blackening seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 8 corn tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple)
– 1 cup pico de gallo
– ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
– 1 lime (juiced)
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Blackened Tilapia Tacos:
1. Prepare the Fish: Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Season each fillet with blackening seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
3. Cook the Fish: Place the seasoned tilapia fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Warm the Tortillas: While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.
5. Make the Lime Crema: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream or Greek yogurt with lime juice. Stir until well combined and set aside.
6. Assemble the Tacos: Once the tilapia is cooked, use a fork to flake the fish into bite-sized pieces. Place a portion of the fish onto each tortilla.
7. Add Toppings: Top the fish with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and a drizzle of the lime crema.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for an added burst of flavor and color.
9. Serve: Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
