Pat always thinks tacos are a good idea, especially when they are breaded with Trader Joe's new plantain croutons to make them extra crispy! Pat hopes you'll try this on your next Taco Tuesday (or really any day of the week!)
Cut fish into 2 inch pieces or strips. Salt & pepper both sides and set aside
In a food processor, pulse plantain croutons until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add arrowroot powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt to taste. Pulse together and place in a bowl
In another small bowl whisk together egg and tablespoon of water for egg wash
Place your fish in the egg wash, coating both sides and transfer to plantain bowl and coat both sides
Heat a pan / dutch oven over medium high high heat and add ¼ to ½ inch of oil over the bottom. Bring up to heat, once it is rippling add fish filets
Cook the filets for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and flip. Cook another 3-5 minutes until the fish is cooked through, around 125*F with an internal thermometer
Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly and enjoy as tacos with your favorite toppings!
