Ingredients

1 pound (fresh or frozen) white fish fillets (tilapia, cod, perch, etc.)*

1 tablespoon olive oil OR vegetable oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

1/2 packet reduced sodium taco seasoning or 2 tablespoons Celebrate Your Plate Taco Seasoning

1 14.5 ounce can no salt added diced tomatoes OR 1 large tomato, diced

12 corn tortillas, warmed

1 cup red cabbage, shredded and 1 cup green cabbage, shredded OR 2 cups bagged coleslaw mix

1/2 cup plain Greek low-fat yogurt OR low-fat sour cream

Taco sauce (optional)

*If frozen, defrost fish according to package directions.

Instructions

  1. Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, utensils, tops of cans, and produce, if needed. 
  2. Remove fish from package. Pat with paper towel to remove excess moisture. 
  3. Using a fork, whisk together oil, lemon juice, and taco seasoning mix in a medium bowl until well-blended. Add fish and stir gently to evenly coat fish in mixture. Pour into a large frying pan.
  4. Evenly cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from heat. Using a fork, flake fish into small pieces.
  5. Fill tortillas with fish mixture. Drain canned tomatoes. 
  6. Top with cabbage, tomatoes, sour cream, and taco sauce, if using. Serve with lime wedge, if desired. 

Tips

  • Mix it up! To add more color to your tacos, try serving with fresh avocado, chopped onion, red pepper, shredded carrots, or cilantro! You can also add taco sauce and lime wedges to taste. 
  • Use your preferred taco shell to customize the taco exactly to your tastes. Try a corn shell or a whole wheat tortilla. 
  • Use your favorite white fish, such as tilapia, cod, or white bass!
