Instructions

1- Prepare the Cilantro Lime Mayo:

  • In a blender, combine the mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, sour cream, lime juice, and sea salt.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.

2- Prepare the Salad:

  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced cucumber, and red onion.
  • Season with salt and black pepper. Toss until well mixed. Set aside.

3- Cook the Fish:

  • Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the tilapia fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

4- Assemble the Tacos:

  • Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat or in a microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
  • Spread a generous amount of the cilantro lime mayo on each tortilla.
  • Add a piece of tilapia and top with the prepared salad.
  • Drizzle a little more of the cilantro lime mayo over everything for extra flavor.

5- Serving:

  • Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the burst of flavors!
