I am not normally a huge fan of fish. It is just too…. well fishy. My husband absolutely loves fish of all kinds and has spent years trying to win me over with fish recipes. This is one of the first recipes I have gone back for seconds on. It is light, crispy with the perfect touch of mango.
Fish Tacos:
- 4 tilapia fish fillets
- panko bread crumbs
- eggs, slightly beaten
- flour
- shredded Monterrey cheese
- green cabbage
- corn tortillas
- limes
Chipotle Sauce:
- ranch dressing
- chipotle sauce
Mango Salsa
- 1 1/2 c. chopped, peeled mangos.
- 1 medium red sweet pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 small jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 c. thinly sliced green onions;
- 1 Tbsp olive oil;
- 1/2 tsp finely shredded lime peel;
- 1 Tbsp lime juice;
- 1 Tbsp vinegar;
- 1/4 tsp each salt and black pepper.
For the fish: Coat the tilapia in coconut flour and then place it in an egg wash. Coat the tilapia in gluten free bread crumbs and let the fish sit in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to help set the crumps. Place in an oiled pan with a small amount of lime juice. Rotate the fish every few minutes until it is golden brown.
For the salsa: Combine the olive oil, lime peel, lime juice, vinegar and seasonings in a bowl. Toss the mangoes, green onions and peppers into the dressing and coat thoroughly.
For the sauce: Make sauce by combining equal amounts ranch dressing and chipotle sauce.
Assembly: Place a small amount of fish in a corn tortilla. Top it with finely chopped cabbage, shredded cheese, the chipotle saucce and mango salsa. Finish the taco out with a light spray of fresh lime juice.
Who would you make this for?
I know so many people who love fish tacos and I want to try them but there's one hang-up: I don't eat fish. I have made only one exception and that is for Tucanos' Mango Lime Cod. And, to be honest, I didn't completely realize what it was until I had eaten it and liked it. (That was also the same day I ate chicken heart.) This has a similarity, so I just might try it. Might. Because fish is good for me.
I have ALWAYS wondered how hard it would be to make fish tacos! Thanks so much!
