Introduction

Great fresh Baja taste without empty calories Great fresh Baja taste without empty calories

Minutes to Prepare: 10

Minutes to Cook: 10

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

14 oz. thawed tilapia filets, about 3.5 oz. per serving

1 medium onion, chopped, divided

1 medium tomato, chopped, divided

1 ripe avocado, chopped

12 oz. broccoli or cabbage slaw

4 servings whole wheat tortillas (check package for serving size)

2 tsp taco dry taco seasoning

zest of 1 lemon, about 1 T

juice of 1/2 lemon, about 1 T

cilantro, fresh, chopped fine, about 2 tbsp

Directions

Chop onion and tomato. Shred cabbage (or use the pre-shredded; non-dressed broccoli slaw can also be used). Place tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds on medium to make them more pliable. Chop or slice entire avocado.

Sprinkle tilapia filets on both sides with taco seasoning. Place in nonstick pan and cook over medium heat until pan-side appears white, about 3-5 minutes. Flip, adding half the onions and half the tomatoes. Using the spatula, chunk the fish as if you were browning ground meat, trying to evenly distribute with seasonings and vegetables. To thoroughly cook the fish will take about another 3 minutes from flipping. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.

Fill tortillas with fish mixture, chopped vegetables, cabbage, chopped ciclantro and lemon zest. Dig in, there's so much bright, fresh flavor you'll never miss the fat!

Really enjoyed these! I used Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning Blend in place of the taco seasoning, and also used corn tortillas. These are a definite addition to my dinner rotation. - 3/30/10

made this without the avocado and taco seasoning, and instead marinated the fish in lemon & lime juice for 2 hours prior to cooking. Still fantastic! - 12/27/10

I cut the recipe in half as there are only two of us. Also, I used lower sodium taco seasoning to cut down on the salt. Great recipe. - 9/5/17

I just made this it tasted so awesome! It was very easy to make I only used a little of the taco seasoning and added salsa and spinach. Easy and delicious I will make this again and again. Really refreshing to have a different flavor. - 9/13/10

I thought this was very good, although I added some salsa on top for even more flavor. A sprinkling of cilantro would have been good, too. - 7/2/07

Skip the tortilla and replace with a wide leaf of Romaine lettuce to save on calories and carbs! There is also too much sodium. - 9/5/19

I'd give this a higher rating if it weren't for the high cals. Took it down a notch by using corn tortillas, a lower-calorie tilapia, half the avocado, and my own spices. All in all, very tasty! - 9/5/17

I only cooked the fish for 2 minutes a side, it's really thin and more would overcook it. I used corn tortillas, and only 1/8 avocado per serving. Really good with those changes. - 9/5/17
