Fish tacos, especially when the fish is baked, are a healthier option for taco night. This tilapia taco recipe is served in romaine lettuce leaves instead of tortillas, but does not lack in flavor.
The fish fillets are seasoned with a little salt and pepper, ground cumin and chili powder before being baked until cooked through and flaky. Break the fish into bite-sized pieces (or leave them whole!) and pile into large lettuce leaves. Top with fresh lime juice, your favorite salad dressing, avocado or sour cream, and fresh homemade pico de gallo. Delicious. ight and healthy!
You could add any other toppings you enjoy, like low-fat shredded cheese or even fresh herbs. Light and tasty, this easy skinny fish taco recipe makes two servings, but can easily be doubled. Serve with salsa or pico de gallo for a healthy dinner or lunch.
