Ingredients

1/2 cup Wondra
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound tilapia (2 fillets)
Vegetable oil
1 small hot chili (Serrano, bird chili, etc.), seeded and finely chopped
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Large handful cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 limes
Corn tortillas or chips
Sliced avocado (optional)

Directions

1

Put the Wondra in a shallow dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Dredge the tilapia in the Wondra, patting gently to remove any excess.
2

Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add a thin film of oil. Add the fish to the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown on one side, and then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish to a cutting board and let it cool for a few minutes. Flake the fish with two forks, or chop it roughly with a sharp knife.
3

In a medium bowl, combine the fish with the chili, scallions and cilantro. Squeeze one lime over the top and fold gently to combine. Taste and add more lime and salt if necessary. Serve in a pretty bowl with the tortillas and chips, and avocado if you like.
