Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb tilapia fillet, rinsed and pat dried
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
2 cups diced tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons lime juice
salt and pepper
4 (10 inch) white corn tortillas (I used La Tortilla Factory Fiber & Flax)
1 medium Hass avocado, sliced
lime wedge (to garnish)
fresh cilantro (to garnish)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic. Mix well.
  • Place tilapia on the skillet and cook until the flesh starts to flake. Add jalapeño peppers, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice. Sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking up the fish with the spoon to get everything mixed well; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat tortillas on a skillet a few minutes on each side to warm (no oil needed). Serve a little over 1/4 cup of fish on each warmed tortillas with a slice or 2 of avocado and enjoy!
