Fish tacos are closely associated with Mexico's narrow Baja Peninsula. With simple, flavorful ingredients, these fish tacos are an easy-to-prepare meal. We paired our pan-seared fish tacos with a cilantro lime slaw, bringing a cool, crunchy texture that complements the light and flaky fish.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Throughly rinse produce and pat dry. Zest and half lime. Slice radish into thin rounds. Roughly chop cilantro. Remove stem, membrane and seeds from jalapeño and cut into a fine dice. Slice green onions on the bias (45 degree angle) into thin pieces. Rinse tilapia and pat dry.

2 Cook the Rice
Bring a small pot with 2 cups of water and rice to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cover. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix in a small pinch of the lime zest and cilantro, saving the rest for the slaw and garnish.

3 Prepare the Slaw
Place the slaw mix, mayonnaise, sugar, half the cilantro, half the sliced green onions, diced jalapeño to taste (this can be spicy for some), and juice of the lime to taste in a large mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients together. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If desired, add a dash of lime zest for additional flavor. Set slaw aside and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
