Tilapia Fish Tacos

C. Taylor's Note:

I found that these are a great way to get a bit more fish into our diet, plus they taste great. And by not frying the fish, these are pretty healthy, depending on your toppings. I love topping them with a mango or pineapple salsa and homemade coleslaw.

Yum! My whole family loved it! I added cilantro, red/green peppers, onions, sour cream, guacamole and refried beans with it.

A big hit with all my fish eating Picky Eaters! My PE questioned the idea of fish tacos but these were enjoyed by all. For my DS I first fixed chicken strips the same way I did the fish and he loved the flavor. I will be making this again! Thx

AWESOME! It is a very light & healthy meal as well. I added diced tomato, avocado, green onion, salsa, & light sour cream. Had company over and they loved them! We also had our homemade apple riesling wine with the tacos and it was a great compliment to them.
