Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tilapia

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the tilapia fillets and coat them evenly with the spice mixture. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tilapia fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, a piece of cooked tilapia, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo. Drizzle with garlic chili sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with extra garlic chili sauce on the side, if desired.
