Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 flour tortillas (6 inches in diameter)
3/4 pound flounder or sole fillets, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
2 large eggs, beaten with 1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
1/2 medium head green-leaf lettuce
Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Stir together breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, and pepper in a medium shallow bowl; set aside. Arrange tortillas on a baking sheet in overlapping rows; set aside.
  • Dip fish strips into egg mixture; then dredge them in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat completely. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet until hot but not smoking. Fry fish strips until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer fish to baking sheet with tortillas; keep warm in oven.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a saute pan until hot but not smoking. Add bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Divide reserved fish, bell peppers, and lettuce among tortillas. Serve with lime wedges and tartar sauce, if desired.

These tacos were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time, maybe some chili powder or cumin.

I had a hard time finding tilapia, so I used cod instead. The tacos still turned out great! I think cod is a good substitute for tilapia in this recipe.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less spice next time.

I'm allergic to avocado, so I used sour cream instead. The tacos were still delicious.
