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.

✨ Zesty Fans: Add extra lime juice and fresh cilantro for a burst of brightness.

✨ Crunch Seekers: Toss on shredded cabbage, thinly sliced radishes, or a handful of toasted pepitas for extra texture.

✨ Dairy-Free Swap: Use coconut yogurt instead of sour cream for a creamy, dairy-free alternative.
