These Tilapia Fish Tacos (Tacos de Tilapia) are fried to golden perfection with a crispy cornmeal crust, served with a red cabbage slaw, topped with avocado slices and a creamy fish sauce.
Yummy! Tilapia fish tacos! There is something about fish tacos that makes them my absolute favorite taco!
When ever I see them on a menu I must have them. Whether it’s as a appetizer, or as an entree, I will try them. And most of the time I devour them. But as a Mexican appetizer, I enjoy them with a creamy chipotle sauce or a creamy fish taco sauce. Which are the sauces I accompanied my tilapia fish tacos with! The flavor of the fish is enhanced quite perfectly with these sauces.
There are many different ways to make fish tacos out there on the internet…
Some people prefer blackened fish tacos, grill fish tacos and yet others just flat-out like their fish fried. As for me, I love them all!
Here I have made crispy fish tacos! Yes fried! Yum! Yum all over!
After seasoning them, I coat them with cornmeal and flour which gives them that extra crispness.
One thing, don’t think because these are fried they will be greasy or not light enough. Completely the opposite my foodie friends.
But please if you prefer grilled or even baked tilapia fish tacos, feel free to do so. They will still be delicious just not as delicious in my opinion. 🙂
For my tilapia fish tacos, I lavish them with red cabbage and thinly sliced red onions seasoned with just a little bit of vinegar, lemon, salt and pepper. Then I add avocado slices and a great creamy sauce! That’s really it! Simple but delicious! And the fish comes out perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly moist on the inside!
Note: You can also use mahi mahi fish, flounder, grouper, cod, halibut just to name a few. Any firm white fish is great for making fish tacos.
So let’s get to it and don’t forget to tell me what you think!
