Ksenia's Fish Tacos


This is my new favorite way of making fish tacos. It's light, healthy, but very filling. To prepare 2 servings you will need:

  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 4 large radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 2 leaves lettuce, thinly chopped
  • 1/2 15 oz can black olives
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup you favorite salsa
  • 1 lime, cut in half
  • 1/4 of a butter stick

Fish

  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • 1 lime or lemon, juiced
  • 3 tbsp Blackened or Cajun seasoning (you can add more in you want more flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

1. You will first need to fry the tortillas. Grease frying pan with a little bit of butter. Fry one side of a tortilla for about 20 seconds, flip, and fry the other side for 20 seconds. Keep them warm. Tortilla warmers work great. You can also substitute butter for olive oil, if you're going extra healthy.

2. Now it's your fish turn!  Cut each fish fillet into 4 smaller pieces. Warm up olive oil in a frying pan. Add tilapia, sprinkle with lime/lemon juice and fry on medium gradually adding the seasoning until it's tender and flakey. Optional: you can also add garlic powder, thyme, and celery flakes for more flavor. You can also add a little bit of Cayenne pepper if you like your food a little more spicy.

3. To serve, place fish and desired toppings on tortilla. Squeeze lime juice over them. Fold and try not to be too messy!
