Fish Tacos

May 19, 2015 by adaisygarden

A good friend of mine said the other day
she doesn’t think fish is for tacos.

She hasn’t had these fish tacos.

I season the fish fillets (in this case, Tilapia)
with salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder,
paprika, and lots of lemon.

Then I cook the fish
in 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, then add a tablespoon
of butter for flavor.

While the fish are sizzling in the pan,
I make the pico de gallo.
It’s just tomato, cilantro, onion,
a jalapeno pepper, and lemon.
Season it with a little salt.

I flip the fish only once, and very gently…
I don’t want them to break.

When they’re cooked through,
I turn the heat off,
and I warm the tortillas either in the microwave
(wrapped in a moist paper towel)
OR I warm them on a skillet, one at a time.

I use two tortillas per taco
(my husband thought of this great idea!)
so that it won’t break and it adds more stability
to the taco. …and by the way, I always use corn tortillas…
…they have so much flavor.

I put one delicious fillet in each taco,
and add lots of pico de gallo,

…and….

Enjoy!!

Thank you for this recipe. We enjoy tacos at a favorite Mexican restaurant but I’ve never tried fixing them at home. I’m having tilapia tomorrow – it might very well end up in a taco shell.

  You’ve got to try them! Although, I’ve had some not-so-great fish tacos at some places…that’s why I make them at home now. They’re easy and very tasty 🙂

I’m not much of a fish eater but my husband would love these! I’ll pass the recipe along.

  What I like most about it, is that it doesn’t taste “fishy”. It’s very mild and the pico de gallo really helps to make it fresh.

I’m sorry Daisy– I just want to tell your sweet friend that fish make the best tacos (or maybe it’s tied with carnitas!!). And these look incredible. Thanks for the great pics!

  Yes, you’re right!– carnitas are the best! 🙂
