Quick and Healthy Tilapia Fish Tacos
My husband loves fish tacos, and I have been trying to add more fish to my diet, so I decided to try out my own tilapia taco recipe...and it was a hit with my family! I "cleaned up" the slaw and I was actually a little surprised, everyone liked it a lot! This recipe is completely healthy and a great source of all kinds of healthy foods - lean protein, nutrient rich kale and veggies, and healthy fat from the avocado! It's a winner!
Ingredients:
Fish:
1 lbs Tilapia Fish - cut into taco sized pieces
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, Oregano
Cole Slaw:
4-5 Cups of Kale or Broccoli Slaw - I used 1/2 bag of Trader Joes Coniferous Crunch Slaw (kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, green and red cabbage)
1 Bunch Cilantro - tops cut very thinly
1/2 Cup 0% Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika, Salt and Pepper
1 Lime
Additions:
1 Avocado Sliced
Whole Wheat or Corn Street Sized Tacos (small size)
Directions
Fish: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse the Tilapia and pat dry. Lightly brush with olive oil and liberally sprinkle the spices over fish (Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, Oregano) - repeat on the other side. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes, turn over and continue baking another 8 minutes, or until fish is no longer translucent and flakes easily with a fork.
Slaw: While fish is baking, in a large bowl mix Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, pepper and juice form 1/2 of the lime. Stir in kale slaw mix and cilantro.
Tacos: Slice Avocados and sprinkle with juice from remaining half of lime. Layer whole wheat or corn tortillas with fish, sliced avocado and top with slaw.
