Cilantro Lime Tilapia Tacos



Yum!  This is yet another great recipe from Skinnytaste.com.  Fish tacos are such a great healthy alternative to beef or chicken tacos, and take about half the time to prepare.  I'm sure you will enjoy!
**I finally figured out how to put a printable button on my blog, so I hope you are able to print these recipes out and enjoy them in your kitchen!


  • 1 lb tilapia filets, rinsed and pat dried
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 5-inch wide corn tortillas (I used flour which I had on hand)
  • 1 medium Haas avocado, sliced
  • lime wedges for garnish
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Saute onion until translucent, then add garlic; mix well.
  2. Place tilapia on the skillet and cook until flesh starts to flake.  Add jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice.  Saute over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking up the fish with the spoon to get everything mixed well.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Meanwhile, heat tortillas on a skillet a few minutes on each side to warm.  Serve a little over 1/4 cup of fish on each warmed tortilla with a slice or 2 of avocado.
