Ingredients

Fish and Seasoning

  • 1 pound boneless and skinless tilapia fillets, cut into 2 inch pieces, rinsed and patted dry
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons fresh salsa (divided use)

Assembly

  • 12 medium corn or flour tortillas, warmed
  • 1½ cups shredded cabbage
  • Optional garnishes: cheese, cilantro, lime wedges, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler: Position the oven rack in the highest setting and heat the broiler to prepare for cooking the fish quickly at high heat.
  2. Prepare and broil the fish: Arrange the tilapia pieces on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the fish is lightly browned on top and opaque throughout, ensuring it is fully cooked.
  3. Make the sour cream salsa sauce: While the fish is broiling, combine the sour cream and 2 tablespoons of fresh salsa in a small bowl. Mix well to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  4. Assemble the tacos: Divide the broiled fish evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each with shredded cabbage, a spoonful of the sour cream salsa sauce, and the remaining fresh salsa. Add optional garnishes like cheese, cilantro, lime, or avocado as desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute tilapia with other white fish like cod or mahi-mahi if preferred.
  • For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the salsa mixture.
  • Warming tortillas before assembling ensures they are pliable and enhances flavor.
  • Adding garnishes like fresh lime juice and cilantro brightens the dish.
  • Broiling time may vary depending on your oven’s intensity; watch the fish closely to avoid overcooking.
