My friend, Lisa discovered this recipe from Cooking Light, 2006. My family loves it. I buy the frozen bag of Tilapia at Wal-Mart. I double the crema recipe, as we like more sauce. We also make the crema ahead and add a little more lime juice than it calls for. The consistency should be the a little thinner than sour cream. You will spoon a tablespoon of crema on your corn tortilla, then add the cabbage and fish. You may also substitute peeled medium shrimp for the tilapia.
