Tilapia Tacos with Cilantro-Jalapeno Coleslaw

March 16, 2014 by Michelle 5 Comments

We have mostly been eating healthy lately. I mentioned before that my husband’s diabetes had gotten worse. He has gotten it stabilized, but that means he still needs to eat healthily and so does the rest of the family. Not to worry, though sugar is not really his thing, so it will continue to show up around here, but we have spent a couple of weeks keeping all temptations out of the house. That being said, sometimes healthy food is really delicious – like these tilapia tacos. The tacos in the photo used regular flour tortillas, but my husband used low-carb tortilla for his. He really liked them, so I think we may all have them next time.

This recipe is really very simple. The fish itself is just brushed lightly with olive oil and sprinkled with Old Bay Seasoning. Then, I made a cilantro-jalapeno coleslaw that was delicious right by itself as well as on the tacos. I served it with avocado, tomatoes, light sour cream, and low-fat cheese. Completely delicious AND healthy!
