Ingredients
Salsa (extra is great with chips or make a double-batch)
- ¾ cup red cabbage sliced thin
- ¾ cup corn I use frozen that I thaw before adding
- ¾ cup cucumber peeled and diced
- ½ to 1 medium ripe avocado peeled, pitted, and diced
- ¼ cup minced cilantro leaves or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- pinch cayenne pepper optional and to taste
- 3 to 4 tablespoons lime juice lemon juice may be substituted
- 3 to 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons agave honey may be substituted, or to taste
Fish
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- flour for lightly dredging fish
- 2 large tilapia filets about 1 pound
- salt and pepper to taste
- fajita or taco shells
- about 1 cup white cheese or a white cheese blend such as queso quesadilla, oxaca, asadera, Monterrey Jack, etc.
Instructions
Salsa
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl in the order listed, toss well to coat evenly, taste, and make any desired flavor adjustments; set aside.
Fish
- To a large skillet, add the butter, oil, and heat over medium-high heat to melt butter.
- Dredge fish through flour, coating both sides.
- Add fish to skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on first side.
- Flip, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes on second side, or until fish is lightly golden browned on both sides and cooked through.
Assembly
- If desired, lightly warm each fajita shell momentarily on a dry skillet over medium-high heat before adding fish.
- Slice fish, add to fajita shells, top with cheese, salsa, and serve immediately. Tacos are best warm and fresh. Extra salsa will keep airtight for up to 2 days, noting that avocados will oxidize and vegetables will continue to soften and release water as time passes.
