  • 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!)
  • Divide tortillas between plates. Top with some coleslaw, then tilapia. 
  • Dollop garlic crema over top.
  • Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
7

If you've opted to get tilapia, pat dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Coat and cook tilapia in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the shrimp, increasing frying time to 3-5 min.

8

Chauffer une grande poêle antiadhésive à feu moyen-élevé. Lorsqu'elle est chaude, ajouter 1 c. à soupe (2 c. à soupe) d'huile, puis ajouter le tilapia. Poêler de 3 à 4 min de chaque côté, jusqu'à ce que le tilapia soit entièrement cuit.

9

Diviser chaque filet de tilapia en 6 morceaux égaux. Répartir les tortillas dans les assiettes. Garnir de salade de chou, puis de tilapia.
