Ingredients:

🐟 4 tilapia fillets
🌽 1 1/2 cups of instant corn flour
🧅 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
🧂 Salt to taste
🌶️ Black pepper to taste
🥛 1 cup of buttermilk
🛢️ Cooking oil for deep frying
🥬 Shredded cabbage
🍋 Lime
🍅 Salsa
🌮 Warm corn tortillas


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Fish:
    • Begin by cutting the tilapia fillets into strips. This will ensure they fry evenly and become crispy.
  2. Prepare the Coating:
    • In a bowl, combine the instant corn flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with a fork to evenly distribute the spices.
  3. Batter the Fish:
    • Dip each fish strip into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
    • Coat the buttermilk-dipped fish strips with the seasoned corn flour mixture. Ensure to press the flour mix firmly onto the fish to form a good crust.
  4. Deep Fry:
    • Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan or fryer to hot (around 350°F or 180°C).
    • Carefully place the coated fish strips into the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy.
    • Remove the fish chicharrones and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the crispy fish chicharrones with shredded cabbage, a splash of lime juice, and fresh salsa. Accompany with warm corn tortillas for a complete meal experience.

Cooking Tips:

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough to avoid the fish being greasy. If you have a thermometer, aim for around 350°F or 180°C.
  • Catfish can be a great alternative to tilapia in this recipe.
