Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Tilapia filets
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • ¼ c. cornmeal
  • 4 tsp. chili powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • 2 c. coleslaw (prepare your family's favorite recipe - for us it's the KFC Copycat recipe at Top Secret recipes - or just buy pre-made coleslaw from your grocer's deli. If gluten is an issue in your family, I'd recommend making your own so you are sure what's in it)
  • ¼ c. chopped fresh cilantro
  • Corn tortillas
Instructions
  1. Prepare your coleslaw at least 2 hours before dinner, because it will need time to set up. You don't need to work ahead if you buy prepared coleslaw. (This is also a GREAT recipe if you have slaw left from a party or barbecue.) Stir chopped cilantro into coleslaw, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. In a shallow dish, stir together cornmeal, and spices. Warm vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet. Coat tilapia in cornmeal & spice mix.
  3. Add fish to skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes each side, until golden brown and fish flakes easily.
  4. Cut filets in half, and serve on a warm corn tortilla, topped with cilantro slaw.
