Tilapia Tostadas with Creamy Lime Sauce
Ingredients
1.25 pounds tilapia fillets
6 tablespoons lime juice divided
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 cup vegetable oil divided
6 6-inch corn tortillas
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 avocado pitted, peeled and sliced
3 cups shredded cabbage
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
1 cup Fresh Salsa
Instructions
[1] Rinse fish and place on a plate. Pour half of the lime juice over fish; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for 20 minutes.
[2] Meanwhile, pour the oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When surface looks rippled, one at a time, place a tortilla into oil and cook, turning once, until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with a little salt. Repeat to fry remaining tortillas.
[3] In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, sugar, chili powder, remaining lime juice, and a little salt to taste.
[4] Add a little more oil to the skillet, if needed. When hot, add fish to skillet along with lime juice from the plate; cover, and cook until opaque in the center and flaky (cut to test), about 6-7 minutes. Coarsely chop the fish.
[5] Place a fried tortilla on each plate and layer equally with shredded cabbage, tilapia, yogurt sauce, avocado slices, cilantro leaves, and fresh salsa.
