I love these Tilapia Fish Tacos. They are a simple solution for a quick midweek meal. Tilapia is a fantastic fish for tacos – it’s affordable and it doesn’t taste too fishy, so it’s a perfect fish to add lots of flavor to.
Start by combining ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to make the seasoning. Dry tilapia fillets and season both sides of the fillets with the seasoning mixture.
Place the fish in a skillet with olive oil and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through. Transfer fish to a plate and flake it into big bite-sized pieces with a fork. Make the chipotle lime sauce by blending yogurt, chipotle, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Serve the cooked tilapia in warm corn tortillas and top with chipotle lime sauce, sliced radishes, shredded lettuce or cabbage, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
To make Tilapia Fish Tacos, you will need the following ingredients:
Combine 1 teaspoon each of ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and ½ a teaspoon of coarse kosher salt in a small bowl.
Use a paper towel to pat the tilapia fillets on both sides to remove any excess moisture.
Season both sides of the tilapia fillets with the seasoning mixture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned fish in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Transfer the fish to a plate and break it into large bite-sized flakes using a fork.
Blend ½ a cup of plain Greek yogurt with 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, plus 1 teaspoon of adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and ½ a teaspoon of coarse kosher salt until completely smooth.
Serve the tilapia in warm corn tortillas, topped with chipotle lime sauce, sliced radishes, shredded lettuce or cabbage, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
