Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb. tilapia fillets
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tilapia fillets and season with the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in the oven or in a dry skillet over medium heat.
  3. To make the lime sauce, combine the cilantro, lime juice, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sugar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  4. To assemble the tacos, place a few pieces of cooked tilapia in each warm tortilla. Top with the lime sauce and additional cilantro, if desired.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!
