Spicy Fish Tacos with Fresh Lime Sauce
  1. 1

    Sprinkle the tilapia fillets with taco seasoning.

  2. 2

    Warm the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish in the hot oil until it flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Take off the heat and cut into bite-size pieces.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Warm the taco shells in the preheated oven until crisp, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine the yogurt, lime juice, sugar, lime zest, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the coleslaw mix, cilantro, and jalapeno; let sit for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Spoon about 1/4 cup fish and 1/4 cup coleslaw mixture into each taco shell. Add 1 tablespoon tomato on top of each.
