Fish Tacos

When coop order has both Tilapia and cabbage, there's just one thing to do - fish tacos! I had never made them before but they turn out to be quite easy. After chopping prep there's only a few minutes cook time and they are just as good as Lone Star's (the SLC Taco place on Ft. Union, not the state of Texas). The amount of fish determines how many people you can feed. Rob and I ate 6 tacos (3 Tilapia fillets) and there was enough sauce leftover for at least that amount 2 more times.

Fish Tacos
Prep: 30 min Cook: 5 min Difficulty: Easy
1 pkg corn tortillas

for the fish:
1-2 6oz Tilapia fillet per person, thawed
1 lime
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
cayenne pepper to taste

for the sauce:
1 6oz container greek style yogurt (sour cream would work as well!)
3 Tbs mayo
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (1 handful)
1 lime
salt
1-2 Tbs red onion

Toppings:
1 cup green cabbage, sliced thin
red onion
salsa (whip up a quick batch of my current favorite recipe)
more fresh cilantro

1. Marinate the fish by combining all ingredients in a bowl and stir to coat well. Cumin or corriander or hot curry spice are other good additions depending on your spice tolerance
2. Put all sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender and mix for 1-2 minutes until the sauce turns green-ish. (I'm sure you could just mix with a spoon but you get that great Lone Star sauce color when you blend - besides, you had the food processor out for the salsa anyways, right?)
3. Chop up toppings. Cabbage is a must along with either salsa or plain old tomato.
4. Preheat a frying pan over high heat. Add 1 Tbs butter and coat the pan and return to a sizzling level of heat. Cook the tilapia for 3 min on the first side, then flip and 2 min on the other side. (Depending on thickness of the fish - when done it should flake easily, fell free to rip it open in the pan to double check)
5. Assemble the tacos! Start with 1 or 2 corn tortillas (double thickness for re-enforced strength), add 1/2 of a tilapia fillet broken into peices, then salsa, onion, a bunch of cabbage. Top with that magic green fish sauce and serve to smiling people.
