Cornmeal Crusted Fish Tacos

Recipe Description

Crispy fish tacos, made with a simple cornmeal crust topped with Wood River Creamery Mango Habanero Cheddar Gruyere.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 lb white-fleshed fish (such as cod, haddock, tilapia or halibut), cut into 2- x 1-inch pieces
  • 3/4 tsp salt 
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream 
  • 1/2 tsp finely grated lime zest
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
