These fish tacos are light and flavorful and easy to make. For this recipe,  tilapia was the star. On other occasions I’ve used Mahi-mahi or cod with great results. The tilapia was topped with several pinches of Grill Mates Mojito Lime seasoning and fresh lime slices. I’m a fan of cooking white fish in foil packets – it comes out flaky and moist every time. The fish was topped with homemade coleslaw adding a nice crunch to the taco. Serve with a side and you have a tasty dinner that’s quick to prepare on a busy weeknight.

Please see the recipe card below for exact amounts and directions.

Ingredient Round Up

  • Tilapia loins or other white fish of your choice
  • Grill Mates Mojito Lime seasoning mix
  • Fresh lime slices
  • Low carb flour tortillas. Corn tortillas also work well.
  • Homemade coleslaw (see recipe)

Making the Tacos

  • Whether they are fresh or frozen, pat the tilapia loins dry and place them on a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Sprinkle a few pinches of Grill Mates Mojito Lime seasoning on each fish loin. The flavor is intense and doesn’t require much. Top each piece of tilapia with fresh lime slices.

  • Fold the foil over the fish, rolling it up on the three sides making a packet and cook in an air fryer or oven.

  • After the fish has cooked, tear open the foil and remove the lime slices.

  • Transfer a tilapia loin onto a tortilla, top with some coleslaw and enjoy.

Serving Ideas

  • You can serve these fish tacos with Mexican seasoned cauliflower rice.
  • They pair well with a black bean, corn and onion salad (see recipe).
  • In the summer during corn season, you can grill up some Mexican street corn to use as a side.
