Tilapia Fish Tacos Recipe

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 Tilapia Taco recipe.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound tilapia fish
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
• Juice of 2 limes (divided)
• Salt and Pepper
• 8 corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons sliced red onion
• 1 small avocado (diced)
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the fish on a plate and sprinkle with the cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper and chili powder, if you want a kick. Drizzle with olive oil and the juice of 1 lime.
2. 2Preheat 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. 3Combine the avocado, juice of 1 lime, onion, cilantro, salt and pepper and set aside.
4. 4Heat the tortillas in an ungreased nonstick pan and wrap the tortillas in a clean towel to keep them warm.
