Instructions

Step 1

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small dish, stir together cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mix over both sides of tilapia.

Step 2

Lightly drizzle fish with olive oil and top each piece with a dot of butter. Bake at 375˚F for 20-25 min. If you want it to get a little browned around the edges, you can broil for 3-5 minutes at the end.

Step 3

Combine all the taco sauce ingredients: sour cream, mayo, lime juice (from 1 medium lime), garlic powder, and Sriracha sauce, in a medium bowl and whisk together until well blended.

Step 4

Lightly brown corn tortillas on a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

Step 5

To assemble: start with the fish then add remaining ingredients finishing off with a generous sprinkle of cotija cheese and finally drizzle with taco sauce. Serve with a fresh lime wedge to squeeze extra lime juice over tacos.
