Dill-lime slaw and red pepper blue cheese aioli elevate these tilapia fish tacos.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 cup roasted red pepper oil, divided
  • 0.33333334326744 cup blue cheese salad dressing
  • 0.5 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
  • 0.5 (16 ounce) package coleslaw mix
  • 0.5 medium white onion, diced
  • 1 roasted red pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 4 (3 ounce) fillets tilapia, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 (12 ounce) package soft corn tortillas
Instructions:
  • Combine the juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of red pepper oil, blue cheese dressing, mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of dill in a bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Cover the aioli sauce and place it in the freezer until serving.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with the juice of 1 lime, 1/2 cup of red pepper oil, onion, and chopped roasted red pepper. Mix well until the slaw is fully combined.
  • In a skillet over high heat, warm 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Cook garlic until slightly browned, about 1 minute. Add tilapia and saute until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in juice of 1 lime, sour cream, cayenne pepper, Cajun seasoning, and dill. Cook and stir until tilapia is browned, about 4 minutes. Lower heat to low.
  • In a smaller skillet, heat the rest of the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add tortillas one by one and cook until bubbles form and they are lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
  • Lay tilapia on tortillas, add coleslaw mix, and drizzle with chilled aioli sauce.
