Fiesta Lime Tilapia Tacos

You literally cannot go wrong with Mexican food, so I decided to take some leftover tilapia I had and make some soft shell tacos. The best things about tacos are that they are easy, very versatile, you can put anything in them and they don't take much work. In my opinion, anything topped with cheese has my vote!!

Ingredients
  • Tliapia filets (you can use any fish you want really, but I happened to have tilapia in my fridge)
  • Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Small/Fajita Super Soft Flour Tortillas
  • 1 bell pepper (any color, any size), cut into strips
  • 1/2 avocado, cut into strips or chunks
  • 1 jalapeño, chopped
  • Handful of grape tomatoes (I used 4 
  • Salsa (I used Pace)
  • 1/4 cup cooked corn
  • Handful of lettuce
  • Shredded cheddar cheese

Step 1: Prepare your fish by seasoning it on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan and then add fish. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side (I like mine a little blackened so I lean more towards 4). The fish should easily flake apart with a fork.

Step 2: Remove fish from heat and break up into bite-sized pieces. Portion the fish out onto your shells/tortillas and layer with all your fixings. 



My tacos were fabulous; the spice of the fish went so well with the crunch of the pepper, the corn and the softness of the avocado..all topped with cheese of course. The actual cooking time for this meal was less than 10 minutes, which was probably just as much time as it took me to eat them ;). I would definitely recommend this meal, even if you aren't a big fan of fish, you can't even tell it's fish. Try it out guys! 

ENJOY!!
