Seasoning

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

Sauce mix

  • ½ cup crema
  • 3 Tbsp. mayo

  • 1 tablespoon Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce
  • ½ tablespoon lime juice

  3. Slice the tilapia in half lengthwise. Then cut each half in half. Season all sides of the tilapia with Cajun seasoning then place them onto the baking sheet. Cook them in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through. 
  4. Char and warm the tortillas in a small pan over medium-high heat or directly on the burner if you have a gas burner.
  5. To assemble the tacos, place a piece of tilapia onto a tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, pickled red onion, radish slices, jalapeño slices, and cilantro leaves. Drizzle the crema on top. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
