Yummy

I tried my hand at making fish tacos for the first time tonight.  This was quite the feat because I am not much of a seafood fan.  But OMG. They. Were. Amazing.

Here is the recipe.  Let me know if you make them and what you think.  Enjoy.

Tilapia Tacos

Makes: 4 servings with leftovers
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes

Ingredients
1 lime
1 cup grape tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 sweet onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 cups green or red cabbage, sliced into narrow strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound tilapia fillets
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 small whole wheat tortillas
1 avocado, cut into 8 long slices
Directions
1. Cut lime in half. Squeeze juice from half and slice other half into 4 thin wedges. In a bowl, combine tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and half the lime juice.
2. In another bowl, mix together yogurt, mayonnaise, and remaining lime juice. Combine cabbage and 2 tablespoons of yogurt sauce in another bowl; reserve extra sauce.
3. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Sprinkle tilapia with chili powder, black pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 3 minutes. Turn; cook 2 minutes more.
4. Place 2 tortillas, 1 lime wedge, and 1/4 of the tilapia on each plate. Serve with salsa, cabbage, avocado, and sauce.

I'm not much of a fish fan myself. Shellfish/crustaceans, yes. Fish, no.

Tracie just actually bought some Tilapia, and now I know what we'll be making with it. Those actually look tasty. :)

I'm glad you liked them! We've been trying new recipes quite a bit in our house. Most have been pretty good.
