Blackened Tilapia Tacos

If you’re looking for a fresh, flavorful, and effortless meal, look no further! These blackened tilapia tacos are so simple and delicious, plus it only takes ten minutes to prepare. Whenever I come home after a long day, cooking is sometimes the last thing I want to do. These fish tacos give me a simple option and allow me to redefine fast food!

Between the tilapia fillet and a homemade Greek yogurt lime dressing, these tacos are both packed with protein and flavor! Just like any taco, the toppings are totally customizable. I usually do tomatoes with a coleslaw mix or shred my own green cabbage and carrots. What are your go-to taco toppings?
