The Best Fish Taco Recipe Ever

I love fish tacos.  I mean, I actually think I’m a bit of a fish taco connoisseur. (so snobby, I know!) If they’re on the menu, I order them.  Every.time.  🙂  I love the combination of flaky, crunchy fish; crisp lettuce;  cool, creamy sauce; tangy lime and soft tortilla.   You want one right now, don’t you?!  Good thing I have the found The Best Fish Taco Recipe Ever!!

I’ve have tried making them at home before and it never turns out quite as good as a restaurant.  Until now.  I found the perfect fish taco recipe.  YUM!  The whole family ate them up.

Baja Fish Tacos

What you need:

• 2 cups prepared coleslaw
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup cornmeal or panko
• 4 teaspoons McCormick® Chili Powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
• 1 pound Tilapia filets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 tortillas, warmed.
• fixings…like limes, sour cream, cilantro, peppers, cheese.  I sprinkled some chili powder on the fixings, too.  Ya know….to be fancy!

What you do:

1. Mix coleslaw and cilantro in a bowl and cover.  Refrigerate to marry flavors until ready to serve.
2. Mix cornmeal, chili powder, salt and garlic powder in a shallow plate or dish.  Coat fish evenly with cornmeal and spice mixture.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat.  Add fish and cook on each side for 3 -5 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
4. Cut fish into 8 evenly sized portions.
5. Serve in warm tortillas-with slaw and fixings.

I’m glad I finally found the perfect at home fish taco recipe!  At last!  🙂  Home cooks can create flavorful meals any night of the week.
