I like fish. A lot. Though I have never in my life had a fish taco! I guess I never really knew what they were exactly. Maybe I thought it was some weird fish I wouldn’t like or… something. Either way, I’ve never tried them. So I decided to see what all of these were about and started looking at recipes to make some myself. Tilapia is our fish of choice so I went from them and just kind of improvised a recipe. They were awesome! Even the hubster said he was impressed (he’s never had them either.) I think we have a winner.
Fish Tacos
4 tilapia fish filets
1 whole lemon
1 whole lime
Lemon Pepper Seasoning Salt
½ cup cilantro
Toppings:
Cheese
Sour cream
Salsa
- Season fish with lemon pepper seasoning on both sides. Place fish on a foil lined baking sheets. Squeeze 1/3 the juice from lemon and ½ the juice from the lime onto filets. Bake thawed at 425 for 15 minutes. Flip filets midway through baking, squeezing 1/3 of the lemon & lime juices on top of the filets.
- In a bowl, tear apart cilantro and squeeze remaining 1/3 of the lime and lemon juices onto cilantro.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet and heat corn and/or flour tortillas.
- Remove fish from oven and place in bowl with cilantro mix. Mix together, breaking apart the fish into pieces (it should pretty much fall apart).
- Create tacos topping with cheese, sour cream, salsa and/or anything else your heart desires
You know I have to assign this Weight Watchers points. So 3 corn tortillas with 4 oz of fish mix topped with a total of 1/8 cup of Mexican shredded cheese, 1 tbsp of sour cream and 3 tbsp of salsa = 6.5 points
My MIL makes them with mango salsa and avocado ranch topping. Delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteI am allergic to both mango and avocado (which I love) =(
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious though!
