Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 pound tilapia fillets

  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • ½ lime, juiced, or more to taste

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons picante sauce (such as Pace®)

  • 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

  • 1 tomato, chopped

Directions

  1. Press garlic into a small bowl or mug. Add taco seasoning. Whisk in enough of the olive oil to form a thick liquid. Brush both sides of the tilapia liberally with the garlic mixture.

  2. Fry tilapia in a nonstick pan until opaque, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add cilantro and lime juice; mix until broken into smaller pieces.

  3. Mix sour cream and picante sauce together and spread on warm tortillas. Add the tilapia mixture and top with green onions, lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and tomato.

Cook's Note:

Catfish also works well in this recipe.
