Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

  3. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the tilapia for 20-25 minutes until opaque and flaky.
  4. Prepare the sauce by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator.
  5. Once the fish has finished baking, let it cool slightly and break it into smaller pieces. Assemble tacos with tortillas, tilapia, cabbage, tomato, cheese, and drizzle with sauce.
  6. Serve with lime wedges on the side and enjoy fresh!
