Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 pounds skinless tilapia fillets
  2. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  3. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  4. 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
  5. 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes), plus wedges for serving
  6. 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  7. 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  8. 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  9. 8 to 12 6-inch corn tortillas
  10. 1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving
  11. Sour cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the fish with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When hot, add the fish and sear, flipping once, until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Let the fish cool to warm, then shred with a fork. Toss the fish with the oil from the skillet along with the cilantro, lime juice, Worcestershire, jalapeño, onion, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use or for up to 8 hours.
  2. Wipe out the skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the tortillas, in batches, and cook, flipping once, until blackened in spots, about 30 seconds per side. Stack the tortillas as they finish and cover with a kitchen towel.
  3. Put out the tilapia mixture with the tortillas, lettuce, lime wedges, and sour cream so everyone can make their own tacos.
