TILAPIA FISH TACOS
I found that these are a great way to get a bit more fish into our diet, plus they taste great. And by not frying the fish, these are pretty healthy, depending on your toppings. I love topping them with a mango or pineapple salsa and homemade coleslaw.

Tips:
- Choose fresh tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Season the tilapia fillets well. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well to bring out its flavor. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Cook the tilapia fillets until they are cooked through. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully to avoid overcooking. Cook the fillets until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Make the cucumber relish ahead of time. The cucumber relish can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Serve the tilapia tacos immediately. Tilapia tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the tacos are hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Tilapia tacos with cucumber relish are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. The tilapia fillets are seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the cucumber relish adds a refreshing and tangy flavor. These tacos are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
