Time 1h40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup canola oil
¾ cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 jalapeno peppers, chopped, or to taste
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 limes, juiced
1 tablespoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
1 pound fresh tilapia fillets
1 cup Mexican crema
1 dash habanero pepper sauce, or to taste
10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
¼ medium head green cabbage, julienned
½ red onion, julienned
2 bunches green onions, finely chopped
¾ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup salsa
3 limes, quartered

Steps:

  • Mix canola oil, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper for marinade together in a large bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. Add tilapia fillets and marinate in the mixture for 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove fish from marinade and rub off remaining jalapenos and cilantro.
  • Cook the marinated tilapia on the preheated grill until easily flaked with a fork, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Mix Mexican crema and habanero hot sauce together in a small bowl.
  • Shred cooked fish on a plate using 2 forks.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat. Warm flour tortillas in the hot pan, about 20 seconds per side.
  • Place a dab of habanero cream sauce on each tortilla. Place fish on top of cream sauce and add cabbage, red onion, green onions, and cilantro. Top tacos with salsa and a squeeze of lime juice.
