Tilapia Salpicon Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the tilapia with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot. Add the fish and cook, turning once, until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Let the fish cool to warm, then shred with a fork.
• Put the shredded fish and the oil from the skillet in a large bowl and toss with the cilantro, onion, lime juice, Worcestershire, jalapeño, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Chill until ready to use.
• Toast the tortillas directly over a burner set on medium, turning, until blackened in spots. Stack the tortillas as toasted.
• Serve the tilapia salpicon with the tortillas, lettuce, sour cream and lime wedges.

Steps:

• For the marinade: Pulse the lime juice, olive oil, marjoram, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mini-food processor or blender until smooth. Cut each tilapia fillet in half through the seam, separating the thicker half from the thinner. Place the tilapia and shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Toss to coat, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For the slaw: Meanwhile, toss the cabbage with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften it a bit. Whisk the sour cream, jalapenos and pickling liquid in another large bowl. Toss in the seasoned shredded cabbage and stir to coat. Season with black pepper, cover and set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Transfer the tilapia and shrimp to a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the fillets with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• For the taco bar: Wrap the tortillas in foil and set to the side on the heated grill while you grill the tilapia and shrimp.
• Grill the tilapia starting with the thicker pieces, 4 minutes for the thicker fillets, 3 minutes for the thinner ones. Use a spatula to loosen the fish and gently flip. Grill until just cooked through, another 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the shrimp until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway. Serve with the tortillas, slaw, scallions, radishes and salsa.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon fajita seasoning over tilapia fillets and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake tilapia in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove fish from oven and cut each fillet into 3 pieces.
• Spray a skillet with cooking spray and add corn, black beans, and 1/8 teaspoon fajita seasoning; cook and stir over medium-high heat until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
• Spray a separate skillet with cooking spray and add pineapple; cook and stir over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add onion to pineapple; cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute more. Remove skillet from heat.
• Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat; add 4 tortillas and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds per side. Remove tortillas from skillet and repeat cooking the remaining tortillas in the remaining oil.
• Place a piece of tilapia onto each tortilla and top with corn mixture, pineapple mixture, cilantro, avocado, cabbage, sour cream and a squeeze of lime.

Steps:

• Mince one jalapeno half and place in a large bowl with cabbage, carrot, and scallions.
• Combine sour cream and lime juice in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 of the mixture to another small bowl and set aside for serving. Combine remaining sour cream mixture with cabbage mixture, and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Put flour and tilapia in a resealable plastic bag and shake to coat fish.
• Heat oil and remaining jalapeno half in a large skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add fish, working in batches if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove fish, slice into strips, and discard jalapeno.
• Fill warmed tortillas with slaw, fish, and cilantro and drizzle with the reserved sour cream mixture. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tilapia fillets and sprinkle with garlic powder and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, turn, and continue cooking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 more minutes. Break fillets apart with a spatula, remove from the heat, and allow to cool. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel.
• While fish is cooling, mash avocado in a small bowl for guacamole. Mix in sour cream and season with garlic powder and salt.
• Place 1 tortilla in the cleaned skillet and cook over low heat until warm, about 1 minute. Remove tortilla and set on a plate with the uncooked side facing up. Cover one half of the tortilla with 2 lettuce leaves and salsa. Spread guacamole on the other half, then add 1/4 of the fish. Fold halves together. Repeat to make the remaining tacos.

Steps:

• Combine cabbage, carrot, apple, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice for slaw in a bowl. Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, ketchup, and salt for sauce in a separate bowl.
• Place flour in a shallow bowl. Place beaten egg in a second bowl. Combine panko, cumin, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
• Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.
• While oil is heating, clean and dry tilapia and cut into 2-inch pieces. Dredge in flour, then egg, then panko mixture.
• Lower fish carefully into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Fill tortillas with fish. Top with slaw, mayonnaise sauce, and radishes. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Put the fish in a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and the salt, and toss well. Put the flour in another large bowl, add the fish, and toss very well to evenly coat the fish.
• Pour 3 inches of canola oil into a Dutch oven or medium pot and heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches to avoid crowding the oil, shake off a little flour from the fish, then add the fish to the oil and fry until the pieces are lightly golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer the fried fish to a paper towel to drain.
• When the fish is just cool enough to handle, put it in a large bowl and add the onions, cilantro, chiles, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Toss and mix well with your hands or a spoon, breaking up the strips into small pieces as you do. Season to taste with more lime juice, chiles, and salt.
• Serve alongside tortillas and lime wedges, topped with avocado slices and Fresh Green Salsa.

Steps:

• Mix cabbage, mayonnaise, cilantro, and lime juice together in a medium bowl until combined. Set coleslaw aside.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Make 2 stacks of tortillas and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
• Rinse fish and pat dry. Cut into 3/4-inch pieces and lay in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Place tortillas in the oven to heat during the last 5 minutes.
• Place a small amount of Monterey Jack cheese on the bottom of each tortilla. Top with tilapia pieces, coleslaw, and salsa.
