TILAPIA FISH TACOS (TACOS DE TILAPIA)

tacos137
Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines and it’s full of tradition and flavor. I want to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday, with this taco recipe.

INGREDIENTS
(4 SERVINGS)

1 Pound tilapia fish
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Juice of 2 limes, divided
Salt and Pepper
8 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 small avocado, diced
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 tablespoon olive oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the fish on a plate and sprinkle with the cumin, salt, pepper and chili powder, if you want a kick. Drizzle with olive oil and the juice of 1 lime.

2. Preheat a skillet over medium- high heat. Add the fish and cook until golden on the outside. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a plate.

3. Combine the avocado, juice of 1 lime, onion, cilantro, salt and pepper and set aside.

4. Heat the tortillas in an ungreased nonstick pan and wrap the tortillas in a clean towel to keep them warm.

5. To assemble the tacos, place an equal amount of the tilapia in each tortilla, along with a big spoonful of the avocado mixture and top with shredded lettuce. Serve with favorite salsa on the side.

    Tilapia is something my & my kids have ( my hubby does not eat fish) atleast twice a week, & with the same spices:-D I guess Indian spices are very similar to yours. I have never made anything so elegant like this one tho! Such a great idea & an easy healthy meal.
