Ingredients
For the zesty sauce:
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 4 oz. chopped green chiles
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro (leaves only)
- 1 tbsp hot honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
For the crispy tilapia:
- 4 tilapia fillets (4 oz each)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1 large egg white, beaten
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
For assembling:
- 8 small tortillas (flour or corn), warmed
- 1 cup quartered grape tomatoes
- 1 avocado, diced
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the sauce:
In a food processor (this one is super cute), combine sour cream, green chiles, cilantro, hot honey, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside — you’ll want to drizzle this on everything.
2️⃣ Prep the fish:
Slice each tilapia fillet lengthwise into two portions. Set up your breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten egg white, and panko breadcrumbs. Dip each piece of fish in flour, then egg white, then panko — press gently to get that irresistible crispy coating.
3️⃣ Cook to crispy perfection:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook fish in batches for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and flaky. Sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika while sizzling.
4️⃣ Assemble and devour:
Nestle each piece of crispy fish into a warm tortilla. Top with the creamy sauce, tomatoes, and avocado chunks.
🌮 Customize Your Tacos:
✨ Heat Lovers: Drizzle with hot sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes for a fiery kick.
