Try a couple of Goodfood kitchen tips to refine your taco fillings. Putting pepitas in pico de gallo—freshly chopped tomatoes, scallion and a dash of vinegar—adds intrigue to the texture. Seasoning crisp lettuce with vinegar and spices creates more complexity. And flinging on some of our crispy onions offers a contrast to smooth sour cream. They’re just the supporting cast for exquisitely flaky tilapia, air fried with less oil and less mess than traditional frying techniques.

Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly oil the basket. Thinly slice the scallion crosswise. Medium-dice the tomatoes. Thinly slice the lettuce crosswise.
Fry the tilapia
Pat the tilapia* dry with paper towel and rub with a drizzle of oil; season with all but a pinch of the spices and S&P. Place on a small piece of parchment paper in the air fryer basket and fry, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and flake into large pieces.
Make the pico de gallo
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, scallion, pepitas, ½ the vinegar, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Dress the lettuce
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, remaining vinegar and spices, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Warm the tortillas
Wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened paper towel. On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the sour cream. Top with the tilapia, lettuce, pico de gallo and crispy onions. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
