    Cook the tilapia fillets: heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tilapia to the batter and toss to coat evenly. When the oil is hot, add the tilapia to the pan, being careful not to splash any oil towards you. Cook ⏱️ 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    Spread the tortillas with reserved avocado crema and place one piece of tilapia in each. Top with a bit of the cabbage slaw and a few cilantro sprigs. Serve with lime wedges, scallion greens, and the remaining cabbage slaw to the side.
