If a banh mi and a taco had a love child, this would be it. A cornmeal and panko crusted tilapia marries with the banh mi trifecta of jalapenos, pickled daikon/carrots, and cilantro for a southeast inspired version of the fish taco. For more recipes: www.juicypeachdiaries.com —Tian Lee

What You'll Need

  • 1/2 cup Pickled shredded daikon & carrots
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce
Directions
  1. Cut each tilapia fillet into 3 small pieces (1 fillet should yield 3 tacos)
