Tilapia Fish Tacos
November 14, 2023
Level up your Taco Tuesday with this easy fish taco recipe featuring one of the most widely available catches: tilapia. Mild and slightly sweet, this white fish is the perfect vehicle for our kicky Chipotle Lime Mayo, which adds a subtle smoky flavor to these fresh and zesty tacos. If you're not a fan of this freshwater fish, you can sub in your favorite white fish, shrimp, or even homemade breaded fish filets for extra crunch.
We prepped our tilapia with cayenne, cumin, and a splash of fresh citrus to seal in the flavor and added crisp cabbage for extra texture. With just 7 minutes of cooking time, this easy no-hassle recipe is great for quick weeknight dinners or a casual lunch with friends. You can even whip it up on Cinco de Mayo, paired with ceviche or queso, for a Mexican-inspired fiesta.
