Ingredients
- •Tilapia, Fillet(454g)
- •salt and pepper
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Flour Tortillas
- •Cabbage, Green(480g)
- •Tomato, Cherry(240g)
- •Olives, Kalamata, Canned, Pitted(240g)
- •Cucumber
- •Cheese, Feta, Crumbled(120g)
- •Tzatziki Sauce, Prepared
Instructions
- 1Season both sides of the fish with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.
- 2Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for 2-4 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked through and opaque and flakes easily. (Cooking time will depend on the size/thickness of your fish.) Remove from heat and transfer fish to a separate plate. Use two forks to flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- 3Assemble your tacos by layering the following on flour tortillas: cabbage, fish, tomatoes, olives and cucumber. Then top with feta and tzatziki to taste. Serve warm, with lemon wedges for a squeeze of juice.
- 4*If you are making these gluten-free, use GF corn tortillas instead of flour. Since corn tortillas can tend to break easier, I recommend using two tortillas per taco and warming them before filling.
- 5**All portions are just suggestions. You can use as much or as little of each topping as you’d like! :)
