Tilapia Tacos Recipe

Most of us are always trying to eat more healthy, or at least want to. I have recently been eating a lot more seafood instead of other meats to get my daily protein intake. The recipe options are endless and fish can make a great substitute for beef and/or chicken. This really quick and easy recipe is a great example and I would like to share it with you today.

*4 tilapia filets
*2 chopped habaneros
*1 pack taco seasoning
*2 tablespoons olive oil
*1 cup water
*2 cups shredded lettuce
*1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
*1 chopped tomato
*1 sliced avocado
*4 tablespoons fat free sour cream
*4-6 whole grain tortillas

In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat then add fish filets. Whiten good on each side. Add chopped habaneros then mix together with fish until it is all cooked into small shreds. Add water and increase heat, bring to a boil, then add your favorite taco seasoning. Decrease heat back to medium and stir occasionally. Remove from heat when water has all cooked off and into the meat.

4 fish filets will make 4 to 6 tacos, depending on how thick you want to make them. Add sour cream, lettuce, tomato, avocado and cheese. Serve with Mexican rice or your favorite side. Enjoy with a cold beverage!
