Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 Costco Tortilla Crusted Tilapia Fillets
- 4-6 Small Tortillas
- 1/4 cup Onion diced
- 1 Avocado pitted and sliced
- 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro chopped
- 15.25 oz Corn drained (1 can)
- 1 tbsp Butter or Margarine
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1 Lime halved and quartered
- Shredded Cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400.
- While oven is heating dice the onion and cilantro and slice the avocado. Set aside for topping the tacos. To speed up chopping, I use this slicer.
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and bake frozen tilapia fillets for 12-15 minutes according to Costco tilapia cooking instructions.
- While the tilapia is baking, in a small pot over medium low heat, add the can of corn with the butter and seasoning mixed in. Add the juice of one lime wedge. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until warm.
- While the corn is heating, over medium heat add a tablespoon of olive oil to a small frying pan and heat up the tortillas. Heat each side of each tortilla for about 30 seconds to a minute and set aside. Be careful not to over cook these. You want them to still be soft enough to fold in half.
- When the tilapia is done, use a spatula or a knife to cut each fillet into small bite size pieces for the tacos.
- Add dollop of sour cream to the bottom of each tortilla and add a single layer of tilapia.
- Add corn, onion, avocado, cheese and cilantro to each taco.
- Garnish with a lime wedge.
Notes
Three fillets makes 4-6 tacos depending on the size of the taco and how full you stuff them. I usually make three fillets for two people.
