These tacos can be made with any hearty white fish, but we chose tilapia because it’s low cost and has a mild taste that lets this recipe’s bold flavorings shine. It is also great with tuna. This healthy low fat recipe is something the entire family will love.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg. pico de gallo salsa
  • 1 cup canned black beans
  • 2 tbs. minced fresh cilantro
  • 1.5oz pkg. low salt taco seasoning
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • 1 lb. tilapia fillets
  • 8 whole grain taco shells

Directions:

Heat grill. In bowl, combine salsa, black beans, corn and cilantro. Set aside.

In bowl, stir together taco seasoning, 1 tbs. lime juice and 1 tsp. lime zest until a paste forms, adding more juice if needed; let sit 5 mins.  spread seasoning mixture over both sides of fish fillets.

Coat fish with cooking spray.  Grill 4 mins. or until done, turning once.  Cut fish; divide among taco shells.  Top with salsa with desired toppings.

Fat free flavor booster

For a zesty punch, place lemon, lime or orange slices on the grill (topped with herbs if desired), then set your fish over the slices.  The citrus flavor will permeate into your meal.  Plus, the slices will keep your fish from touching the grill, so there’s no need to worry about the fish sticking to the grill grates.
