Erin's Fish Tacos


Tilapia is a great, cheap, lean fish that's great for fish tacos! I make these often as we usually keep frozen tilapia on hand and since the fillet's are so small, it thaws quickly!


Ingredients

  • 2 Tilapia Fillets
  • 1 tsp Spices, Chili Powder
    1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
    1/4 tsp Black Pepper
    1 tsp Turbinado Sugar
    1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 Corn Tortillas Taco Size
  • 2 tbsp Red Onion (diced)
    1/4 Tomatoes (diced)
    1/2 Lime (cut into wedges)

Directions

  • Thaw, rinse and dry tilapia
  • Preheat pan med/med-hi
  • Combine spices together (for an addedtouch, dip the very tips of your lime
    wedges in the rub so when you squeeze it on the tacos, you get a little spice,
    not to mention it looks great on a plate)
  • Coat fish in olive oil and rub with spice rub
  • Cook Tilapia in pre-heated pan until done (approx. 3 min per side)
  • Meanwhile, Heat tortillas and dice onion and tomato for garnish. Sometimes I make a basic vinegar slaw to toss on top as well.
  • Build your tacos and enjoy! (don't forget to serve with the lime wedges!)
