Pico de Gallo Topping Ingredients
- 4 ripe Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 firm but ripe avocado, cubed
- 4 tbsp red onion, chopped
- 4 tbsp cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1/3 cup Floribbean Key Lime Mustard Sauce
Mix all Pico de Gallo Topping ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate while you prepare the tacos to let the flavors meld.
Taco Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets, sliced lengthwise to create "fish sticks"
- 8 small taco-sized flour or corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- Cooking oil such as canola or sunflower
Instructions
- Wrap tortillas in a foil envelope and warm in a 250°F oven.
- Pour cooking oil in a fry pan about 1/4" deep. Heat over medium heat until shimmering.
- In a 9x9 pan, season and mix cornstarch with garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Dredge each fish stick in the batter.
- When the oil is hot, fry the fish sticks in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the batter is golden. When both sides are done, move the fish sticks to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Assemble the tacos. Place two warm tortillas on each dinner plate, place a fried fish filet in the center, sprinkle with shredded lettuce, and spoon pico de gallo on top.
- Serve with extra Floribbean Key Lime Mustard Sauce as needed.
