Fish Taco's by Lisa Snider

Can you say Yum! I don't even like fish - but I ate this up in seconds!!

Fish:
  • Blend 1/2 C. cilantro, 2 tbls. olive oil, Juice of one lime, 1 tsp of garlic and onion powder & salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread over Tilapia fish or any white fish you like (Chilean Sea bass would be amazing but expensive).
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrease for 20-25 min. Let rest.
Mango coleslaw:  (I usually just use the pre-bagged cabbage coleslaw)
  • Blend one cup of mango's with equal parts olive oil and white wine vinegar (to thickness and taste desired) about 2-3 tbls., 1 tsp. garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
  •  Mix cabbage and Mango vinaigrette together.
Roll fish, Mango coleslaw and avocado's in a soft whole wheat tortilla shell.
Enjoy!
