Steps:
- Put the garlic, cilantro, lime zest, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small food processor bowl and pulse until combined, approximately 20 seconds. With the processor running, add the tequila. Put the tilapia fillets into a 1 gallon resealable bag, add the garlic mixture and move around to coat each fillet. Set aside at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F.
- Brush the griddle with the olive oil. Cook the fillets until just cooked through and opaque about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cut into strips and serve in warm tortillas with crema, shredded red cabbage and lime wedges.
- Combine 9 ounces flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times.
- Add the lard to the flour mixture in 4 to 5 chunks and pulse 10 to 15 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With the processor running, add the water in a steady stream just until a ball of dough begins to form, approximately 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of flour on a clean surface. Remove the dough from the bowl of the processor and knead until well incorporated and less sticky. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Evenly divide the dough into 8 pieces and form them into round balls. Roll each ball into 7-inch rounds with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Keep all of the dough balls covered with a tea towel.
- Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F.
- Put the tortillas, 2 to 3 at a time, onto the griddle and cook until light golden, about 4 minutes per side. Can be held for up to 2 hours, at room temperature, wrapped in a barely damp tea towel. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Microwave for 1 minute in the damp tea towel to reheat.
- Put the heavy cream in a 16-ounce microwave-safe glass jar. Microwave on high until the cream is just under 100 degrees F, about 30 to 40 seconds. Add the buttermilk, close the jar, and store in a warm place for 24 hours. The cream will have thickened to the consistency of thin yogurt.
- Add the chipotle chile and salt and process with an immersion blender, in the jar, until smooth, approximately 20 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:
- *Can be found in Asian markets
- Special equipment: a 12-count nonstick muffin pan
- For the wonton cups: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Using a pastry brush, brush each side of the wonton wrappers with canola oil. Gently press the wonton wrappers into the bottom and sides of a 12-count muffin pan. Bake until lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Gently lift the wonton cups out of the pan and cool completely, about 10 minutes.
- For the filling: In a large, nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Drizzle the tilapia fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the fish in a single layer in the pan and cook until the flesh is flaky and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Set aside to cool slightly.
- For the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the lime juice. Season with salt, to taste. Add the avocado, mango, green onions, and arugula. Toss until all the ingredients are coated.
- For the creme fraiche: In a small bowl, mix together the creme fraiche, wasabi powder and salt until smooth.
- To assemble the tacos: Put the wonton cups on a platter and divide the avocado mixture into the cups. Top each with 3 to 4 pieces of fish. Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the creme fraiche mixture on top of the fish and serve.
- Cook's Note: The wonton wrappers can burn very quickly in the oven so check them after 5 minutes.
CRISPY TILAPIA FISH TACOS WITH SLAW
Best fish tacos ever. Anybody who eats these is going to tell you to go open your own restaurant immediately. I've had plenty of people tell me "I don't like fish, but these tacos are amazing!" My secret in this recipe is the diet ginger ale. A lot of people use ginger beer, but I like the diet ginger ale because I find the batter is lighter and more crispy with all the flavor you get from ginger beer. Make 'em, eat 'em, love 'em, add them to your rotation. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired.

Steps:
- Mix mayonnaise, onion, pickles, and lemon juice for tartar sauce in a bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until needed.
- Combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix garlic and ginger with rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over slaw and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
- Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a deep pot over medium heat.
- While oil is heating, mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Slowly add ginger ale and mix to combine. You don't want the batter to be overly thick; excess batter should be able to coat the fish entirely, but still be able to drip off.
- Pat tilapia chunks dry and dredge in the batter until thoroughly coated.
- Test the oil by adding a few drops of batter in it; when the batter begins to bubble and float, the oil is ready. Working in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot, carefully lower some tilapia into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining tilapia.
- To serve, place slaw on warm tortillas. Top with tilapia and tartar sauce.

TILAPIA FISH TACOS
I found that these are a great way to get a bit more fish into our diet, plus they taste great. And by not frying the fish, these are pretty healthy, depending on your toppings. I love topping them with a mango or pineapple salsa and homemade coleslaw.

- If baking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat the tilapia dry, then sprinkle it with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and pat it in. Add the Fish Taco Seasoning or Fajita Seasoning and pat it to cover the fish. Place the fish on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, until tender, then broil for 2 minutes until the top is lightly browned. Or broil on High for 2 to 3 minutes per side (4 to 6 minutes total), until cooked through and it flakes with a fork.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the cabbage. Shred or grate the carrot (we used a handheld julienne peeler). Thinly slice the green onion. Place the cabbage, carrots and green onion in a bowl. Stir in the lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon celery salt. Serve immediately with a slotted spoon. The slaw picks up moisture as it sits; if you plan to let it sit, make sure to serve with the slotted spoon to strain out the moisture.
- If desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. Or warm them according to How to Warm Tortillas.
