Cooking Steps

Prep & Make Raita
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Finely chop mint. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot.

  • In a small bowl, combine mint, chimichurri, and yogurt. Set aside until ready to serve.

Pickle Shallot
2
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine shallot, vinegar, 2 TBSP water, 1 tsp curry powder1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (4 TBSP water, 2 tsp curry powder, and 2 tsp sugar for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the curry powder—we sent more!)

  • Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, then set aside to pickle.

 

Season & Cook Tilapia
3
  • Pat tilapia* dry with paper towels; season generously all over with Shawarma Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add tilapia; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate to cool.

Finish & Serve
4
  • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
  • Once tilapia is cool enough to handle, break up into bite-size pieces.

  • Divide tortillas between plates; top with tilapia, cabbage and carrot mix, pickled shallot (draining first), and as much raita as you like. Serve.
