Lettuce-Wrapped Fish Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 12 romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1/4 onion, minced
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for optimal results.
2
Mix together Cajun seasoning, chili powder, paprika, garlic salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl to create the seasoning blend. Then, evenly distribute this spice mixture on both sides of your tilapia fillets.
3
Next, anoint each side of the tilapia fillets with a generous amount of lemon juice to add moisture and flavor.
4
Place your prepared tilapia fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
5
Once the tilapia is baked in your preheated oven, check on it periodically until it reaches a tender and flaky consistency, taking around 8 to 10 minutes.
6
Slice the cooked tilapia into manageable pieces and divide them equally among your romaine lettuce leaves to create a delicious taco filling.
7
In a blender, combine ripe avocado, diced onion, sliced jalapeno pepper, minced garlic, and a splash of water to create the creamy avocado salsa verde.
8
Mix in some chopped cilantro to give your salsa a fresh and herbaceous flavor.
9
Finally, top each taco with a generous helping of the avocado salsa verde and some cherry tomatoes for added color and flavor.
