I love tilapia fish tacos and am always searching for that perfect fish taco. This recipe is my culmination of all of my favorite elements found in all my favorite restaurant's fish taco dishes. Garnish with lime.

Ingredients

  • 1 lime , juiced
  • 1 cup roasted red pepper oil , divided
  • 0.33 cups blue cheese salad dressing
  • 0.25 cups mayonnaise
  • ½ , 8 ounce
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons red pepper oil, blue cheese dressing, mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dill in a bowl until combined. Cover and place aioli sauce in freezer until ready to serve.

  2. 2

    Place coleslaw mix in a medium bowl. Add juice of 1 lime, 1/2 cup red pepper oil, onion, and chopped roasted red pepper. Toss together until slaw is thoroughly mixed.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Add garlic; cook until slightly browned, about 1 minute. Add tilapia; saute until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add juice of 1 lime, sour cream, cayenne pepper, Cajun seasoning, and dill. Cook and stir until tilapia is browned, about 4 minutes more. Reduce heat to low.

  4. 4

    Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a smaller skillet over medium heat. Add tortillas 1 at a time. Cook until bubbles form and tortillas are lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.

  5. 5

    Place a portion of the tilapia on each tortilla. Top with coleslaw mixture and chilled aioli sauce.
