Tilapia Tacos

This is a real simple fish taco recipe that takes almost no time to make. I used tilapia for this recipe, but you can use cod, red snapper, mahi-mahi, salmon, catfish, among many other types of fish. The only topping that doesn’t go with fish tacos is cheese, so avoid that combo at all cost.
