Easy Tilapia Fish Tacos

Leave a comment

These Easy Tilapia Fish Tacos are one of my all time favorite Mexican recipes.

Not only are they absolutely delicious! They take less than 15 minutes to make. I like to serve these tacos with all types of salsa, such as the one you see here for my Pico de gallo . Also you can serve it with my award winning Jalapeno Peach Salsa as seen below.

ARRIBA MEXICO!

It’s that good guys, amo los tacos mexicanos! We make this in our house at least once a week.

Just make sure you have some either high quality fresh fillets or frozen always on hand and you can too.

ARE FISH TACOS HEALTHY

Yes, white fish is a lean protein then the taco shell itself is low in calories as well as the added ingredients and spices.

HOW TO MAKE TILAPIA FISH TACOS

  • You can use a high quality frozen fish for this recipe. Otherwise fresh fillets are always my top choice.
  • This type of fish can also be served in burritos, hard tacos or over rice with beans.

TYPE OF FISH TACOS

  • You can also substitute the tilapia for another white fish such as halibut or cod.
  • Shrimp too is also a popular option. 

WHERE DID FISH TACOS ORIGINATE

In Baja, California. Some say that the roots come from Japanese immigrants that made there way to Mexico in the 1950s – 1960 who brought them in.  Either way they this is a very MEXICAN recipe to most of us today!

TILAPIA FISH TACO SEASONING

  • Chili Powder
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Cumin Powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

These tasty tacos can be pulled together in less than 15 minutes.

Making for a super quick and tasty dinner option.

Just make sure to make the “pico de gallo” ahead of time.

But not to ahead of time as the tomatoes won’t be as fresh past a day!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH TILAPIA

  • Sour cream
  • Cheese
  • Avocado

WHAT IS PICO DE GALLO

These fish tacos are so darn delicious, pair them with fresh homemade “pico de gallo” and you can’t get a tastier or healthier fish tacos if you ask me.

It’s Mexican salsa y’all and it goes great with just about any type of Mexican food.

See below for the recipe!

Also don’t forget to squeeze some fresh lime juice over top the fish at the end.

This really helps the flavors to pop!

FISH TACOS FOR A CROWD

You can feed roughly 4 people with this recipe.

So if it’s just the two of you dining tonight then there certainly will be some leftovers.

If your wanting to feed more people, simply MAKE more by doubling the ingredients! 

Super easy to prepare too, all you are doing is a little prep work that takes less than 15 minutes.

If your wanting to serve this with the same  “pico de gallo” salsa you see in the picture here.

Be sure to make the salsa one hour ahead of time, as it’s best to let the salsa marinate which enhances it’s flavors. 

Check out my two favorite recipes for Pico De Gallo you will serious love them! 

  1. Pico De Gallo this goes great with these tacos.
  2. Cabbage Pico De Gallo this also goes great with these tacos.

Green Pork Chili (Chili Verde)

Leave a comment

This simple yet Authentic Green Pork Chili is made with pork shoulder or loin and is slow cooked in a green Chile sauce. 

Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas or over a bed of rice if desired. 

I like to make it even when cooking for just a few, because it stores well as leftovers. However if you want to make the salsa verde from scratch, here is a great recipe for “salsa verde“. 

I recommend using a premade Tomatillo salsa, it will save you a ton of time.

As opposite to cooking the salsa from scratch.

HOW TO MAKE GREEN PORK CHILI

  • This dish can be done in your pressure cooker, slow cooker or on the stove top.
  • Today I am using the stove top method, since I will be in the kitchen most the day. However if your in a hurry, do it in the pressure cooker and then you can have this on the table in under one hour. 

If you like Mexican food or have never even tried it before then this recipe is a must try because it is amazing! 

Whenever me and my partner go down to the States, we like to stop at our favorite local Mexican restaurants and enjoy this exact dish.

It is best serve over a bed of rice or for a more traditional meal, serve it alongside some warm tortillas. 

Buen provecho!

Now there is defiantly a process to making authentic chile verde and that starts with roasting tomatillos, along with garlic, jalapenos and onions in the oven.

However this recipe is going to make all that so easy for you, because we are using a pre -made sauce. What are Tomatillos you ask? 

Well they are little green looking tomatoes, known as the Mexican husk tomato, but they are hard to find here in Canada.

We even send Bubba out to  locate these rare tomatillos for this recipe, but he failed to come back with any local ones. 

Rather he did come back with a bottle of “Tomatillo Salsa” which has the tomatillos in it.

Along with the cooked jalapenos, onions and garlic that are needing in this recipe.

So we encourage you to use this pre-made salsa in the dish too, which tastes just the same and will also save you allot of time in the kitchen. 

If your cooking for a large crowd keep this recipe in mind, it’s not only easy to prepare it’s also inexpensive and goes long ways. 

Do you LOVE Mexican food as much as we do? Then you will want to try the best
