1 Prepare Ingredients
Stem poblano peppers, seed, and cut into ½" dice. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping. (Time: 1:11) Pat tilapia dry, and season both sides with ¼ tsp salt, a pinch of pepper, and half the Chile and Cumin Rub (reserve remaining for a later step). Cut into 2-inch pieces Combine the sour cream and cholula sauce to taste
-
2 Cook The Poblano Mixture
In a nonstick pan over medium high heat add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add poblano peppers and stir occasionally until tender and lightly browned,3-4 minutes. Add corn, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Toss. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in cheese. Wipe the pan clean. While the vegetables cook, toast tortillas.
-
3 Toast The Tortillas
Poke tortillas with a fork all over, 10 times for each tortilla. Place tortillas on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil and massage oil into tortillas. Toast in hot oven until browned and crispy, 5-7 minutes.
-
4 Heat And Test The Oil
Add canola oil to the clean pan. While canola oil heats, add tempura, ¼ cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir until a thin batter forms. Add additional cold water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until the consistency is like a thin pancake batter. Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.
-
5 Fry The Tilapia
Add tilapia to hot pan and cook until fish reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle remaining Chile and Cumin Rub on top.
