Yummy Fish Tacos

It feels like FOREVER since I've blogged last, and it's been a very long time since I've shared a recipe, so here is one of my favorite recipes, well I actually have a lot of favorites. But, this is really good I promise. Hopefully the recipe makes sense/it's way easier demonstrating than attempting to write it down, but here goes...

Ingredients:

Tilapia Fillets (or any boneless white fish meat)

Green Cabbage

Purple Onion

Limes

Cucumber

Mayonnaise

Flour

Egg

Mustard

Serrano Peppers (Optional)

Salt/Pepper

Vegetable Oil

Corn Tortillas (I like the mission-white tortillas)

Instructions:

Wash & dry fish, chop into thin long strips then set aside. (For our family of three, I use about 3 fillets). Prepare toppings by chopping cabbage, and by dicing red onion,cucumber and optional Serrano peppers into small pieces. ( I usually prepare approximately 1 cup cabbage, 3 rounds red onion, and 1/2 of pealed cucumber. I find that it's easier to place them in separate containers rather than mixing together). Add plenty of freshly squeezed lime to diced onion and season the onion with salt. (About 1 lime per 3 rounds of onion is what I use). In small bowl, prepare mayonnaise sauce by mixing a small amount of mayonnaise and lime together. (I use about 4 heaping Tbsp. of mayonnaise per lime). Set mayonnaise sauce aside. In yet another bowl, mix flour, egg yoke, mustard, salt,pepper and lime juice. (I use approximately 1 cup flour, 1 tsp. salt, sprinkle of pepper, 2 egg yokes, a few squirts of mustard, and 1/2 of lime juice. Add enough water until the batter looks like a pancake consistency. Cover fish strips in flour and then coat them in the mustard sauce. Next, you will need to deep fry the fish, so you have a deep frier than use that, if not heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan and cook the fish for about 3 minutes per side. (Don't put too many fish in at a time or they will turn out greasy). As you're cooking the fish, heat corn tortillas in another pan until they are harder, but not too hard. Cover them as they come out to keep them warm. (I usually set up an assembly line to make the rest of the tacos). Spread a small amount of mayonnaise sauce on warm corn tortilla. Next add fish, cabbage, cucumbers, red onion, and Serrano peppers. Add desired salt and squeezed lime. Roll taco up and serve immediately.

I turned the comments off on my blog because I was feeling guilty for never commenting on anyone else's blogs. I know that I'm probably just paranoid.
