Crispy Fish Tacos and Pico De Gallo

Do you think anyone could pass up crispy well seasoned fish nuggets on a crispy tortilla with a compound sour cream and pico de gallo?!?! Um, certainly not me. These are a great addition to any party menu – one bite and you’re spell bound. And yes, I did say spell bound – lol.

Fish Tacos
- Any white fish (I used tilapia) cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon of each (ground cumin, coriander, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder)
- 1 cup of corn meal
- oil for frying
- corn tortillas
- a good Latino inspired cheese (I used Chihuahua cheese)
- tons of pico de gallo (combine chopped tomatoes, cilantro, onion, garlic, chiles, lime zest, lime juice, a touch of sugar, salt, and balsamic vinegar)
- chipotle sour cream (combine sour cream and minced chipotle peppers)

Marinate the fish in the spices. Coat with the corn meal and fry at 375 degrees (medium high heat) until golden brown. Toast corn tortillas in the oven until crispy. Top tortilla with fish, cheese, pico de gallo, chipotle sour cream, and a sqeeze of lime.
