Hi loves!
Ok so whose ready for the Tilapia Taco Tuesday recipe ! I know I am! This recipe is oh so easy , delicious with a quick clean up!
I always buy my fish from Stew Leonard’s I find it to be super fresh. I get a pound that’s enough for 2-3 people.
Ingredients :
1 lb. of tilapia
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Chili powder to taste
Garlic powder to taste
A splash of cayenne pepper
Juice of one lime
Olive oil to cover the fish
Non stick cooking spray.
Tortillas for serving
Guacamole for serving
Onions and tomatoes
Lettuce
Optional :
Cheese and sour cream ( my husband is partial to these I try avoid dairy )
So, the first thing I do is preheat the oven to 400
Then I get a baking pan or sheet and I lay aluminum foil to fully cover it to allow for easy clean up.
Next I spray it with non stick cooking spray I do olive oil spray.
I take the fish out of the package and pat it dry with a paper towel to take out excess moisture this allows the fish to get a healthy crispy crust!
Then I pour a little olive oil onto the fish to fully massage and rub it in.
After I take the juice from a lime ! I only use fresh lime juice and massage it in !
Then I generously sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
After I mix all of the other spices in a bowl and spoon it to cover the fish and massage it in.
I put the fish in a preheated oven at 400 degrees where it bakes for 25 minutes !
*Note- while the fish is baking I wrap all of the tortillas in aluminum foil tightly and allow them to warm and soften while the fish bakes for serving.
Tip! I seal the foil as we take out tortillas to keep them warm.
I break the fish up with a fork and fill the tacos and put whatever toppings you like!
Serve and enjoy !
