These Tilapia Fish Tacos topped with a homemade Avocado Cilantro Sauce are so addicting, you will want to make these every single night of the week!

I’m always on the hunt for a good fish taco.

Living in Florida I can pretty much find fresh fish tacos in every restaurant. I’ve tried so many different versions of fish tacos, I lost count.

I’ve tried fish tacos with Tilapia, Mahi-Mahi, Shrimp, Grouper, Salmon… I love them all. 🙂

Eating out all of the time can get pretty expensive though, so now I’m making my own fish tacos at home.

Tilapia Fish Tacos with Avocado Cilantro Sauce

Since Tilapia was on sale this week, I decided to use this fresh fish for my tacos!

Tilapia is perfect for fish tacos, I actually think it’s the most common fish used for tacos in restaurants. It’s relatively a cheap fish to buy and it tastes delicious!

Tilapia has a sweet, mild flavor and has a medium-firm flakiness to it, which to me is absolutely perfect!

To season the Tilapia here’s what you need: (full printable recipe below)

Chili Powder

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

Oregano

Cumin

Sea Salt

Pepper

Mix the seasoning together and sprinkle over both sides of the fillets.

Spray a baking sheet with Coconut Oil (I like the flavor of this best, but you could use any kind of non-stick spray).

Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes (flipping half way through).

Tilapia Fish Tacos with Avocado Cilantro Sauce

While the fish is cooking you can make the yummy Avocado Cilantro Sauce!

Here’s what you need:

Avocado

Coconut Milk Yogurt (plain, unsweetened)

Cilantro

Lime Juice

Sea Salt

Add all the ingredients to a Food Processor or high speed blender and pulse or blend for about 30 seconds until it’s fully mixed.

Drizzle this sauce over the fish tacos and proceed to chow down!

I also added some shredded Purple Cabbage and Avocado slices on top of of the tacos as well. You could add any of your favorite toppings to this though.
