I forgot to rate this recipe before! It is awsome!! I use Tilapia and seasoned with fresh lime juice and Old Bay Seas.. Cooked in the skillet only. I used flour tortillas,because we do not corn tortillas. These are awsome. Thanks for posting.

Made this with Tilapia seared it with EVO salt and pepper and baked as directed in the recipie the fish came out perfect. I made a Chipotle Mayo and spread it on the tortillas then added the fish, topped with cabbage slaw, my homemade salsa. I only had 1 small avacado, not enough for guacomle so i just sliced it up and topped the taco off with it. Thank U so much for this recipie it is definately a keeper!!

I followed some of the suggestions in the reviews. I marinated the fish in lime juice, old Bay seasoning and cumin. I didn't have cucumbers and didn't miss them. I used Coleslaw mix that was already chopped. I fried the fish in a non stick skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil. It came together very fast and it was as good as restaurant fish tacos. I doubt I will order it in a restaurant any more because I can make it so quick and healthy at home. Great recipe.
