Ingredients




12 fillets Tilapia (frozen or fresh)
20 smalls flour tortillas
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
4 limes, wedged
1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, finely-chopped
4 tomatoes, diced
1 medium-large onion, diced
2 cups Italian bread crumbs
seasoning salt or creole seasoning
2 cups vegetable oil, olive oil, or lard (use to pan guacamole, salsa, and queso

Preparation

1 In pie pan/deep dish add your Italian bread crumbs. 2 In large enough pan to fit at least two fillets at a time, add about 1 cup of oil and bring up to a sizzling temp. (after frying about half the fish, you may need to add more oil to the pan) 3 If frozen thaw your tilapia in lukewarm water, drain well. 4 Once oil is ready, take one of the fillets, thoroughly coat both sides with the bread crumbs.  Place in the oil and cook til each side is brown (~2-3 minutes/side).  Place on sheets of paper towel to drain away more of the oil. 5 Lightly season the top side of fish with you salt or creole seasoning. 6 While frying up the rest of your fillets, chop up all of your accouterments. 7 When everything is ready, microwave your tortillas for about 30 seconds on high, completely covered in paper towel or a clean dishtowel. 8 Make a taco building buffet: add your fish, a little queso, your veggies, a pinch of cilantro, and then salsa and/or guac. Use the lime wedges to give your taco a little extra kick of citrus!

About


When my brother and sister came into town on their spring break, we had quite a few days of feasting. This was probably my brother's favorite.  I also made homemade salsa, guacamole, and queso to go with.  I will definitely post these recipes.  They are all easy, delish, and other than the queso, nutrish!
