Tilapia Fish Tacos

I finally won a small battle in our house.  I have wanted to make fish tacos for some time now, but Greg continued to be reluctant because he isn’t a big fish eater.  He incorporates fish in safe ways, grilled, broiled, or baked.  Tacos with fish was a little too much of a stretch … until this past weekend.

Since we started this blog we are having a great time reading about what others are making and we have been incorporating new dishes and ingredients into our healthy diet.  We have always tried to maintain a healthy diet – but sometimes that meant getting into a grilled chicken, brown rice rut.

We are BUSTIN’ THE RUT!

Here is my recipe for fish tacos – finally!

What you need:

Sauce:

• 2 TBS  finely chopped onion
• 1 1/2 TBS fat-free mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 TBS reduced fat sour cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoon lime juice

Tacos:

• 3/4 lbs tilapia (red snapper would be a good choice too)
• 4 6in corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 2 teaspoons Manzanillo Mexican Seasoning

Directions:

Combine ingredients for sauce in a small bowl and chill in refrigerator.

1. Spray skillet with olive oil.
2. Sprinkle Manzanillo Mexican Seasoning on both sides of fish.
3. Cook in the hot skillet for about 4 minutes on each side.  Fish should be crispy on the outside and should flake easily with a fork.
4. Break fish into bite sized pieces with a fork.
   
5. Heat tortillas as per package directions. (About 30 seconds in the microwave should do it)
6. Divide fish evenly among tortillas – top each with  1/4 cup cabbage and 1 Tbsp sauce

Serves 2

I wasn’t so crazy about the sauce – next time I will try a corn salsa or red/green pepper salsa would be good too.

If you haven’t tried fish tacos – I encourage you to do it – and let me know how you like them!

P.S. Greg loved them!!!
