Instructions
Sour Cream Cilantro Sauce - Blend the sour cream, cream cheese, green chili salsa, garlic, cumin, celery salt, celery seed and cilantro leaves in a food processor until combined. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve at room temperature as a sauce for warm fish, chicken or turkey burgers, or chill to use as a dip or a sauce for cold veggies, shrimp or salmon.
- *Salsa verde is found with canned goods in the Hispanic food section of grocery stores.
Fish Tacos - Make the salsa topping: In a small bowl, combine chopped cilantro leaves, onion, jalapeño and lime juice. Set aside.
- Place the flour on a shallow plate and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the tilapia fillets with a light coat of the seasoned flour.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil (or more if needed) in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. In batches, leaving space between the fish pieces, cook the fillets three minutes, turn and cook two to three more minutes until cooked through.
- Hold in warm oven at very low heat until all fillets are cooked. Keep warm.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or individually over a gas flame burner for a few seconds per side to char the edges. Hold in a warm oven.
- To serve: Place a thin strip of fish vertically in the center of each tortilla. Serve with Salsa, Cilantro Sour Cream Sauce, cilantro sprigs, lime quarters, chopped tomatoes and sliced cabbage as serve-yourself additions to the tacos.
- Elsie’s Tip: Cilantro is fresh coriander, not to be confused with dried coriander. In the sauce, use only the leaves of fresh cilantro, discarding the stalks.
