Cilantro Lime Tilapia Tacos

These fish tacos are really delicious and a bit different from most fish tacos I typically come across.  I like them because they can be made in one skillet and incorporate tomatoes and spices right into the fish mixture.  Also, this recipe is so simple yet really, really good.



I found the recipe on Skinny Taste:

Cilantro Lime Tilapia Tacos
Skinnytaste.com
Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 2 tacos • 
Calories: 319 • Fat: 12 g • Protein: 26.5 g • Carb: 33.7 g • Fiber: 9.7 g • Sugar: 3.6 g
Sodium: 76.2 mg (without salt)

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb tilapia fillets, rinsed and pat dried
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 5-inch white corn tortillas (I used La Tortilla Factory Fiber & Flax)
  • 1 medium haas avocado, sliced
  • lime wedges and cilantro for garnish
Notes:  I did not think the original recipe had enough spice.  So, I added in some Sriacha and chili powder to taste.

Serve with some ice-cold Corona with lime and enjoy!  My favorite part of this recipe is the clean-up: one knife, one cutting board and a skillet.
