Tortilla Crusted Fish Tacos with Spicy Avocado Cream
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
Fish Tacos:
- 1 lb cod or tilapia filets
- 3 oz tortilla chips crushed to make 1 cup crumbs
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 12 corn tortillas
Spicy Avocado Crema:
- 2 avocados pitted and diced
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup avocado mayonnaise
- Juice of 1 lime
- Dash of kosher salt and pepper
- 1 jalapeno roughly chopped, seeds removed if desired for less heat
Garnish:
- Red cabbage shredded
- Cotija cheese crumbled
- Cilantro roughly chopped
- Scallions diced
- Sriracha aioli or hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine taco seasoning and tortilla crumbs in a shallow bowl and prepare a baking sheet by spraying with non stick cooking spray.
- Pat cod pieces dry with paper towels. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, tossing them gently with hands or a spatula to coat evenly. Working in batches, place a few pieces of cod into the bowl with tortilla chip crumbs and press crumbs into fish to form a coating all around each piece.
- Place coated fish pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray each piece with cooking spray. Bake for 5-10 minutes, until pieces are cooked through and light golden brown.
- While fish is cooking, combine all ingredients for avocado cream in food processor. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Once fish is done cooking, break up fish with spatula into smaller pieces. It should easily crumble.
- Place fish and toppings in bowls and allow everyone to build a taco to their liking! If desired, serve with a side of Spanish rice or beans.
Notes
Note: Costco has an amazing Tortilla Crusted Tilapia in a box in their freezer section. Those are amazing to have in hand and a great shortcut here!
