Fish tacos are a fun way to add fish to your meal. Green cabbage gives some crunch and extra nutrients.
- Makes
- 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup green cabbage, sliced and chopped
- 4 (4-ounces each) tilapia fillets (or any white fish)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (more or less to taste)
- 8 small corn tortillas
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Clean and chop onion, cilantro, and cabbage. Mix in a bowl and set aside.
- Coat the baking sheet with cooking spray. Lightly sprinkle fish fillets with chili powder and place on the baking pan.
- Place in the oven about 6 inches from the broiler and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, or until fish is fully cooked. You will know the fish is done when it "flakes" or pulls apart easily when separated with a fork.
- Lightly fry tortillas on an oiled griddle or skillet, or heat tortillas in the microwave oven for just a few seconds until softened and hot.
- Fill tortilla with fish, cabbage, onion, and cilantro and fold in half. Serve with salsa and citrus slices, if desired.
