Serves 4
Ingredients for the Sauce:
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Ingredients for the Fish:
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tilapia filets, cut into strips
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable or olive oil for frying
- Ingredients for serving the tacos:
- 16 corn tortillas, warmed
- Shredded cabbage
- Avocado slices
- Cilantro leaves
- Lime wedges
To make the sauce, stir together all of the ingredients into a serving bowl and set aside.
To prepare the fish: combine the flour and the seven seasonings in a shallow dish or pie pan. Dip the tilapia strips into the buttermilk and then dredge in the seasoned flour and set on a baking sheet until ready to cook.
Just before serving, heat the oil in a skillet and fry the fish strips turning as they brown. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Assemble the tacos: in each warmed corn tortilla, place a few fish strips, a forkful of cabbage, an avocado slice, a drizzle of the sauce and top with cilantro leaves. Serve with wedges of lime on the side.
