Slightly Blackened Fish Tacos

Slightly Blackened Fish TacosIn a hurry? This is a great healthy recipe that takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.

Because it’s so quick sometimes I’ll prepare this on weekday evenings when I get home from teaching fitness classes.

It’s quick, easy and there’s only one pan to clean!

 

 

Ingredients: Choose sustainable fish and organic/non-GMO produce when possible.

Open bag of lettuce/cabbage/carrot mix. Slice avocado. Open salsa/pico. Put light mayo and sriracha in small ramekin and mix. I know, prep is difficult (not).

Slightly Blackened Tilapia

It’s ready when you start to see a little smoke from the evoo. Carefully place tilapia filets in skillet. Cook on each side about 3-5 minutes.

Seasoning should appear slightly blackened when you flip the filets. Pull off heat when done.

Lay 2 tortillas on plate, smear with a little mayo/sriracha, layer fish, l/c/c mix, avocado and salsa/pico on top.
