Tilapia Fish Taco..just like Baja baby..well not really..

Fish tacos, sound gross right? WRONG these things are the bomb, just don't try and add cheddar cheese. Cheddar and fish have no business being together, it is pehaps one of the most unholy unions next to John and Kate... (that zing is for you Brea ;) Ok back to business,

I tired my first fish taco in Hawaii many moons ago. Much to my surprise they were delicious. Mahi Mahi would be my fish of choice but we really don't get any good looking Mahi in my area. Tilapia on the other hand is in abundance and always looks fresh. Since it was a busy night we just heated up a box of Spanish rice to go with it.

Fish:

1 pk Corn tortillas
1lbs Tilapia

Salt and Pepper

2 Tbls Extra Virgin Olive oil

Fresh Cilantro

Coleslaw:

1 Pk Pre shredded coleslaw mix

3/4 C Mayo

3 Tbls Apple Cider vinegar

2 Tbls Sugar

2 Tbls Celery Seed

1/2 Tsp Hot Sauce

For the coleslaw mix the mayo, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, and hot sauces together. Fold in the coleslaw mix and season with salt and pepper to taste.

You could do this on the grill and it would be fantastic but my grill is currently out of gas and i didn't feel like dragging the tank down to the store to get a new one. So pan sear it is!

Heat a large skillet over med-high heat. Add oil. Season the fish generously with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the pan (working in batches) about 4 minutes each side. (Fish should be flaky and solid white)

The tortillas are great heated up on the grill but if not you can wrap them in some tin foil and toss them in the oven at 300 for about 5 mins.

Assemble the tacos, tortilla, fish, coleslaw, cilantro.

Enjoy!
