Tilapia Tacos with Tomatillo Salsa

Pin It

Remember that Tomatillo Salsa I made on Monday? Well, not only is it a great topping for chicken and steak, but it is an excellent condiment for tacos. Freshen up a batch of summer-friendly fish tacos with this light and refreshing salsa, and it will be a win in anybody's book. 

Not only is this meal easy to make, but it's figure friendly as well. I usually find that tilapia falls apart when cooking since it is so delicate, but if you let it sit without touching it for 4 minutes per side until it crisps up, you shouldn't encounter any problems. Enjoy!
