Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish (like tilapia, mahi mahi, catfish or red snapper) cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 lime
- 1 (135) cup (grams) gfJules™ All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ancho chili powder or cayenne (optional)
- High heat oil for frying (like avocado or non-GMO canola)
- 12 corn or homemade gluten-free flour tortillas
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 avocado diced
- Salsa of choice
- Coleslaw or shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- Sour cream dairy or non-dairy (optional) – (e.g. Tofutti® or Follow Your Heart® soy sour cream)
Instructions
- Cut the fresh or thawed fish into pieces and place into a large zip-top bag. Squeeze the lime into the bag with the fish, seal the bag, shake gently and set aside to marinate.
- Heat enough oil in a large skillet to cover the entire skillet bottom. While that is coming to high heat (400ºF), prepare a bowl for dredging with the gfJules Flour, salt, and pepper(s) whisked together well.
- Using a fork, remove fish pieces, one at a time, and dredge each through the flour mixture, coating each side well, then lay gently in the heated oil.
- Cook on both sides until light brown and crispy -- approximately 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the size of the fish. Cut into a piece of fish to be sure it's cooked through (the fish should be white and opaque, not pink or translucent).
- Remove and drain on a paper plate or paper towels. Keep warm by placing on a baking sheet in a 175° F oven while finishing remaining fish.
- Prepare flour tortillas or wrap cooled tortillas in a towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds, until soft and warm. Add the fish and selected toppings, wrap and enjoy!
