Easy Tilapia Fish Tacos

Share

I picked up a few fresh Tilapia fillets yesterday to make these Easy Tilapia Fish Tacos. I would not recommend using frozen fish for this recipe, you are looking for a few fresh fillets here. 

The fresher the better, which will produce a moist and flaky fish taco. This fish can also be served in burritos, tacos, and or over rice with beans.

You can also substitute the tilapia for another white fish such as halibut or cod. In our house this recipe is enjoyed more often than any other taco recipe.

These tasty tacos can be pulled together in less than 15 minutes. Just make sure to make the “pico de gallo” ahead of time. ARRIBA MEXICO!

It’s that good guys, amo los tacos mexicanos!

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.

What is pico de gallo? It’s Mexican salsa y’all and it goes great with just about any type of mexican food.

Also don’t forget to squeeze some fresh lime juice over top the fish at the end, this really helps the flavors to pop.

This recipe can feed roughly 4 people, 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 double up the recipe with our easy to use recipe adjuster above.

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.
