1

Assemble all the ingredients.
2

Stir the sour cream and lime juice together in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Set aside about half of the mixture in a separate bowl for serving.
3

Finely chop half of the jalapeño pepper; reserve the other half for later. Toss the cabbage, green onions, and the minced jalapeño half with the remaining sour cream mixture until the slaw is well combined.
4

Warm the olive oil and the remaining jalapeño half in a large skillet over medium heat; swirl to coat the skillet evenly. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
5

Pan-fry the fish strips in the skillet in 2 batches until golden brown and easily flaked with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes. Discard the jalapeño half.
6

Warm the tortillas in the microwave on high until heated through, 20 to 30 seconds.
7

Serve the fish in the warmed tortillas topped with the cabbage slaw, the reserved sour cream mixture, and cilantro.
