Ingredients:

Strawberry-Tomato Salsa

• ¾ cup strawberries, cut into small dice
• ½ tomato, cut into small dice
• 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
• ¼ Serrano chile, minced, optional
• 1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Fish Tacos

• 4 tilapia filets, approximately ¼ pound each
• 1 teaspoon of your favorite taco seasoning
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 8 6-8-inch flour or corn tortillas, heated according to the package directions
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup shredded lettuce or green cabbage
• 1 lime, cut into small wedges

Directions:

1. Prepare the salsa by mixing together the first seven ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
2. Dry the filets with a paper towel. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and set onto a plate. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Pour in olive oil. When the oil is hot, gently add the fish to the pan, cooking for approximately 5 minutes and turning once.
3. Remove fish from the pan and break each filet into two pieces. Serve in a tortilla topped with strawberry salsa, avocado slices, and shredded lettuce or cabbage with a lime wedge alongside.

Chef’s notes:

You could also make the salsa with mango or peaches. Simply substitute ¾ cup of either chopped fruit for the strawberries.
