  • 2 On work surface, mix flour and cornmeal. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Press both sides of each biscuit into flour mixture, then press or roll into 6- to 7-inch round.
  • 3 In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add 2 biscuit rounds; cook about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Place on cookie sheet; keep warm in oven. Cook remaining rounds, adding 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to skillet for each batch. Wipe skillet clean.
  • 4 Heat same skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and lime juice mixture, chiles, salt and pepper; cook about 5 minutes, turning fish once, until fish flakes easily with fork.

This was great!It's a very easy recipe. Everyone loved it!I used extra garlic. I added extra salsa to the sour cream.I used a coleslaw mix and added cilantro. On the fish I added old bay before I put it in the skillet. I also put Old Bay on some of the biscuits. What a keeper!

This was really good, but I never did find "chipotle chiles in adobo sauce". Publix usually has special items i need, but these were not available anywhere. Had to make my own from adobo spice, which defeats the "40 minutes" deal.

My family loved this recipe and it will now be in my recipe box and prepared frequently. The only thing I did different was use coleslaw mix instead of shredding cabbage. We love it!!

Only thing I really like is the buscuite as a flatbread. The sauce for the fish tacos is way too heavy for the delicate flavors. Need to have a cilantro, lime vinegrette to toss cabbage in, which will accentuate the fish flavors and not hide them.

We love fish tacos and these are delish! However, I make them with cod instead of tilapia as it is a good steak like fish with a meatier texture and is budget friendly as well.
