Instructions

Notes

  • Cod or tilapia are great flaky white types of fish to use for this recipe. You can use frozen fish fillets, but be sure the fillets are thawed just before cooking them.
  • Grill your tilapia on the grill the make extra blackened fish.
  • Serve this fish taco salad with a crema or creamy avocado lime dressing. A fresh vinaigrette would also be good for this salad.
  • Instead of fish use shredded or cubed chicken, chorizo, beef, or tofu. You can also just use the veggies and beans.
  • Use blackened salmon or other kind of cooked salmon for this recipe.
  • Instead of sour cream use plain yogurt. You can also use dairy-free sour cream if you avoid dairy products.
  • Top the taco salad with freshly grated or shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Store the leftovers separately in the refrigerator. The fish will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about four days.
