Ingredients

12 fillets Tilapia (frozen or fresh)
20 smalls flour tortillas
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
4 limes, wedged
1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, finely-chopped
4 tomatoes, diced
1 medium-large onion, diced
2 cups Italian bread crumbs
seasoning salt or creole seasoning
2 cups vegetable oil, olive oil, or lard (use to pan guacamole, salsa, and queso

Preparation

1
In pie pan/deep dish add your Italian bread crumbs.
2
In large enough pan to fit at least two fillets at a time, add about 1 cup of oil and bring up to a sizzling temp. (after frying about half the fish, you may need to add more oil to the pan)
3
If frozen thaw your tilapia in lukewarm water, drain well.
4
Once oil is ready, take one of the fillets, thoroughly coat both sides with the bread crumbs. Place in the oil and cook til each side is brown (~2-3 minutes/side). Place on sheets of paper towel to drain away more of the oil.
5
Lightly season the top side of fish with you salt or creole seasoning.
6
While frying up the rest of your fillets, chop up all of your accouterments.
7
When everything is ready, microwave your tortillas for about 30 seconds on high, completely covered in paper towel or a clean dishtowel.
8
Make a taco building buffet: add your fish, a little queso, your veggies, a pinch of cilantro, and then salsa and/or guac. Use the lime wedges to give your taco a little extra kick of citrus!

About

When my brother and sister came into town on their spring break, we had quite a few days of feasting. This was probably my brother's favorite. I also made homemade salsa, guacamole, and queso to go with. I will definitely post these recipes. They are all easy, delish, and other than the queso, nutrish!
