Tasty Tilapia Tacos

Tilapia is a mild-flavored white fish that’s high in protein and low in saturated fat. With this recipe, tilapia takes on the zesty flavors of the spices and blends in with creamy cheese, tangy tomatoes and crunchy slaw. To make these tacos even tastier and more filling, add more non-starchy vegetables such as onions or peppers (sweet, hot or both).

Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Lime Yogurt Sauce

Plump and juicy shrimp are the perfect protein for tacos because they pick up the flavors from the spicy marinade and cook in just a few minutes. We like combining the shrimp with crisp, fresh cabbage dressed in a creamy yogurt sauce that’s flavored with avocado and lime juice.

Zesty Cajun Fish Tacos

Smoky, peppery Cajun spices give mild-tasting, high-protein halibut a potent flavor boost. We pair the seasoned fish with a simple but delicious homemade tomatillo sauce. It features the tangy green cousins of tomatoes, along with jalapenos, onions, garlic and a bit of honey for sweetness. Try it with toppings such as mango, avocado, cabbage and tomatoes.
