Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 8 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
- 1 large Lime
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or crema
- 0.25 cup Fresh salsa (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the tilapia by patting the fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Season both sides of the tilapia fillets evenly with the prepared spice blend.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tilapia fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. While the tilapia is cooking, cut the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into thin slices.
5. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a separate skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred and softened. Remove from heat.
6. Warm the corn or flour tortillas in a dry skillet, over an open flame, or in the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
7. Assemble the tacos by flaking the cooked tilapia into chunks and placing them onto the warmed tortillas. Top with grilled peppers and onions.
8. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and garnish with chopped cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream or crema and fresh salsa, if desired.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful sautéed tilapia tacos with grilled peppers and onions!
