Fish Tacos

Not the greatest picture, but these were pretty legit! =)

this recipe calls for just one taco, so just double or triple the ingredients for each person eating.

(about 280 calories)

iNGREDiENTS:

- 1 Tilapia Filet, thawed & patted dry (4 oz)

- 1/2 tsp. Olive Oil

- 1 tsp. Taco Seasoning

- 1/8-1/4 cup Red Onion, sliced thin

- 1/4 cup Black Beans

- 2 TBSP. Fresh Cilantro, minced (or 1 tsp. dry)

- 1/4 tsp. Cayenne (optional)

- 1-2 TBSP. Salsa

- 1 TBSP..or more.. shredded cheddar cheese (i get the kraft-free kind for half the calories)

- 1 tsp. Lime juice

- 1 Tortilla (i like the small carb-balance whole wheat kind for only 80 calories each)

- Lettuce

- Sour cream (optional)

1. In a small dish, combine the taco seasoning, 1 TBSP cilantro, and cayenne.

2. Rub the dry fish filet with the olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the spices over both sides.

3. Heat a small saute pan over medium heat for a few minutes, then grill the fish for 4 or 5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes with a fork.

4. In a separate small bowl, mix in the black beans, salsa, other TBSP. cilantro, and red onion. Microwave mixture for about 20-30 seconds.

5. Take fish off grill and put on the tortilla... immediately top the filet with cheddar cheese, then the bean/salsa mixture, and squeeze the lime juice over it all. Top it with lettuce and/or sour cream.

** Optional: Just before serving, you can heat the oven to broil and put the tortilla on a baking sheet to warm/toast it for no more than 1-2 minutes. This makes it taste more authentic I think!
