Cilantro Lime Tilapia Tacos

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb tilapia fillets, rinsed and pat dried
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 5-inch white corn tortillas
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • lime wedges and cilantro for garnish
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic. Mix well. Place tilapia on the skillet and cook until the flesh starts to flake. Add jalapeño peppers, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice. Sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking up the fish with the spoon to get everything mixed well; season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, heat tortillas on a skillet a few minutes on each side to warm (no oil needed). Serve a little over 1/4 cup of fish on each warmed tortillas with a slice or 2 of avocado and enjoy!

Notes:
I followed the recipe from skinnytaste.com to a tea (click link to view amazing photos). I didn't have any fresh tomatoes on hand, so I used a can of Italian Diced Tomatoes.  It was just as good, but I think next time I'll do fresh. Our family (except my lil' boy) LOVES fish tacos. My little girl ate 4 of these!!! They were great, fast, & easy...not to mention healthy! Give them a try & let me know what you think!
