For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the tilapia instead of pan-frying. A squeeze of fresh lime juice over the cooked fish adds brightness. If you prefer a spicier taco, leave some seeds in the jalapeno or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the taco seasoning. For a creamier sauce, substitute sour cream for half of the Greek yogurt. To make it low-carb, serve fish and coleslaw mix in lettuce wraps instead of taco shells.
