Tilapia Tacos

March 10, 2011 by Julie 45 Comments

This afternoon, the rain cleared in Orlando, leaving blue skies and slightly chilly air for us to enjoy on our evening walk with Sadie.

This is how Sadie waits for red lights…

And then we sprint across the street like crazies, flailing our arms, Phoebe Buffay style!

Our walk took us around a lake near our apartment and home within 40 minutes. Since the weather was so nice outside, we decided to kick back a bit and relax on someone’s swing on our way home…

Totally kidding. What is that? A swing for ants? 😉

By the time we made it home, our tummies were grumbling. Dinner time!

Dinner

For dinner this evening, we enjoyed fish tacos.

I made the fish tacos by cooking tilapia on the stovetop and seasoning the fish with half a packet of reduced-sodium taco seasoning.

After topping some hard shell tacos with the fish, lettuce and tomato, dinner was ready!

These babies were good. I went back for seconds and really wish there were leftovers for a big taco salad for tomorrow’s lunch. Oh well!

If you love tacos but aren’t a big fan of fish, you might enjoy my recipe for slow cooker chicken tacos. It’s super easy and might be more up your alley.

Off to chill with the husband and pup for the rest of the night. See ya tomorrow… FRIDAY!

    Haaaa love both of your tv/movie quotes here. That episode on Friends ALWAYS makes me laugh. But i love pretty much just about every episode of Friends. And zoolander=amazeballs. “MerrrMAN!”

    Glad the weather cleared up… same thing happened here in CLT! Super rainy then cleared up beautifully 🙂

    Fish tacos are the jam. I love topping mine with chopped red cabbage and carrots and chipotle sour cream. I love how simple your recipe is; I’d never thought to use taco seasoning. Good idea, girl!

    A recipe for fish tacos actually popped into my Inbox today via AllRecipes Healthy Bites and I almost made it for dinner! I have actually never tried fish tacos before, but I think I really need to… They look so delicious!

    I love reading Friends references — it is amazing how many little things each day remind me of that show.

    I love fish tacos…however, that is the nickname I have given my husbands old girlfriend from long ago, therefore fish tacos in my house are eaten with laughter the entire time! Maybe we need some fish tacos over at our house this week.

    I love tilapia! You should try Swai… it’s not bad. It doesn’t have a strong fish taste. I actually think its less fishy than tilapia.

    oh tilapia tacos are so so amazing!

    your recipe is superb! i have been making tilapia tacos for so long and just wanted to share a new way of making it if you ever want to try it out!

    so also cooking the tilapia stove top i always use very light lemon and herb (dash seasoning, no salt!)

    i either use corn tortillas (the best) and sometimes whole wheat soft tacos… and load it with black beans, pico de gallo, and you can make this cilantro sauce… it is SO sooo good girl hopefully you’ll try it out one day 🙂

    love your blog btw you are such a great writer/inspiration!
