Man! My photos seem to be getting worse by the day. Anyway, here it is. It was good!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 (1 oz.) package dry Ranch-style dressing mix
- 5 tbsp. olive oil + more for frying.
- 1 lb. tilapia fillets, cut in strips about 3-4″ long and 1 1/2″ wide.
- 1 package corn tortillas (about 12-15)
- 1 c. shredded cheese (optional)
- Roasted Tomato Chipotle Puree
- Guacamole
- Onion Lime Relish
Directions:
- Place the bread crumbs in a bowl. In a shallow dish, mix the dressing mix and oil to form a paste.
- Coat the tilapia fillets with the paste, then dredge in the bread crumbs to lightly coat.
- Cover the bottom of a skillet with approximately 1/4″ - 1/2″ of olive oil. Heat oil on medium heat.
- Place the fillets in the skillet, and cook 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and easily flaked with a fork. Place fillets on a plate covered in paper towls to drain.
- Heat corn tortillas in hot oil for 2-3 seconds on each side and place on a plate with paper towels to drain.
- Place one or two Tilapia fillets on a corn tortilla and top with cheese, Chipotle puree, guacamole and onion lime relish. Em, em good!!!
