Here’s a recipe to make a healthy fish-topped Taco Salad featuring crispy tortillas chips and tender tilapia fish. In this recipe the seasoned tilapia fillets are sautéd rather than fried, and lightly dressed slaw is used instead of lettuce. This is then topped with some pico de gallo, avocado chunks and crushed tortilla chips to make it perfectly delicious.
To make 4 servings you’ll need the following ingredients:
for the Slaw:
½ head red cabbage, shredded
½ head green cabbage, shredded
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon lime zest
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
½ cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped mint
for the Fish:
Two 8-ounce tilapia fillets
4 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
