It does not get much simpler than fish tacos for weeknight dinners! Flavorful and healthy, fish tacos are a snap to create on a busy weeknight or over the weekend, when you’d like a health-minded dish that takes minutes to pull together. This recipe for Easy Fish Tacos calls for budget-friendly tilapia and cabbage slaw, which packs in the flavor. Add these two components to a corn tortilla, and voila – dinner is served!
Ingredients:
• 4 tilapia fillets
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ground
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 16 corn tortillas
• cilantro, to taste
• lime, to taste
For the cabbage slaw:
• 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
• ½ cup red onion, diced
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 lime, juiced
• ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, red onion, sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Chill until ready to serve.
2. In a bowl, mix cayenne, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Season each tilapia fillet on both sides with the seasoning mix.
3. Over medium-high heat, cook 2 fillets at a time for 8 minutes, flipping halfway. Repeat for the remaining fillets. Using a fork, break apart the fillets into bite-size pieces.
