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.

    These tacos were a hit at our Cinco de Mayo party! The lime sauce is so refreshing.

  • Wilbert Sauer

    My kids loved these! I was surprised they ate the jalapenos without complaining. I think the sweetness of the lime sauce balances the spice perfectly.
