Cooking Steps

Make pickled jalapeños
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Halve, core, then slice jalapeño into thin half-moons, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
  • To a small pot, add jalapeños, 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) vinegar, 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar. Season with salt. 
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. 
  • Remove from heat. Transfer pickled jalapeños, including liquid, to a medium bowl. 
  • Set aside in the fridge to cool.
Bread tilapia
2
  • Pat tilapia dry with paper towels, pressing well to absorb as much moisture as possible. Season with salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) mayo and Lemon-Pepper Seasoning.
  • Using tongs, coat tilapia in mayo mixture.
  • To a shallow dish, add panko.
  • Working in batches, add coated tilapia to panko and turn to coat both sides, pressing to adhere. Discard any excess panko.
Pan-fry tilapia
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil, then tilapia. Cook for 4-5 min per side, flipping once, until golden and crisp. Season with salt.
Make coleslaw
4
  • Meanwhile, in another large bowl, add coleslaw cabbage mix, remaining vinegar and remaining mayo. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
Warm tortillas (optional)
5
  • Just before serving, wrap tortillas in paper towels.
  • Microwave for 30 sec-1 min, until tortillas are warm and flexible. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas!)
Finish and serve
6
  • Meanwhile, in the pan, gently break tilapia into bite-sized pieces.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Divide tortillas between plates. Top with coleslaw, crispy fish and pickled jalapeños.
  • Sprinkle cilantro over top.
