Servings   4
Preptime   Varies

Ingredients
Tater Sauce-
1 scallion, white and light green parts only, finely chopped also
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped and 2 chipotles in adobo sauce seeds removed, finely chopped
Tacos-
3 pounds skinless Tilapia fillets (or other firm, flaky
2 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce with 5 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
 
2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
12 8-inch flour tortillas
2 cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise, seeded and
2 cups arugula leaves
1 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Zest of 2 oranges
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
Combine all the tartar sauce ingredients in a small bowl, using salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Next Step The Fish- Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces and put in a bowl with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Turn the fish to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Place the flour in a shallow dish and toss the fish pieces in it, a few at a time, until evenly coated. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. To see if it's hot enough, place a small piece of bread in the oil; it should sizzle immediately. Carefully add a few pieces of fish at a time, shaking off excess flour before placing them in the oil. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla and warm for 10 to 20 seconds on each side. Place on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel; repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Spread a dollop of the chipotle tartar sauce on a warmed tortilla. Add a few pieces of cucumber and top with 3 or 4 pieces of fish, a few arugula and cilantro leaves and a little orange zest. Serve with lime wedges and more tartar sauce on the side. But for a more crispy bite I use thinly sliced cabbage to the tacos as well.
