Directions

1. Preparation

Mix Fish Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside. Make the Slaw: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Let this sit while you prepare the fish. Mix Crema: Whisk together the crumbled queso fresco, milk, garlic powder, and paprika until smooth.

2. Cooking the Fish

Sear: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season: Place the tilapia fillets in the pan and sprinkle each side generously with the lemon pepper seasoning. Cook: Fry until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (about 3-4 minutes per side).

3. Final Assembly

Toss: Once the fish is done, transfer the fillets to a clean bowl. Add the pre-mixed fish seasonings and toss/mix until the fish is broken up and well-coated. Serve: Portion the seasoned fish into tortillas. Top with the slaw, a drizzle of the queso fresco crema, and sriracha sauce to taste.
