  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Fish and Seasoning

  • 1 pound tilapia fillets (or another mild white fish)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Veggies and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup pico de gallo (homemade or store-bought)

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons water

Other

  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fish: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Coat the tilapia fillets evenly with the taco seasoning.
  2. Cook the fish: Place the seasoned fish in the heated pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, mayonnaise, and 2 teaspoons of water, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the tacos: Evenly divide the shredded cabbage among the warmed corn tortillas. Break the cooked fish into large pieces and place on top of the cabbage.
  5. Add toppings and serve: Top each taco with pico de gallo, sliced avocado, and drizzle with the prepared white sauce. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute tilapia with any mild white fish like cod or haddock.
  • For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the pico de gallo.
  • Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave before assembling for extra softness.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the yogurt and mayonnaise with dairy-free alternatives.
