Tilapia Tacos.

Tilapia tacos... YUM!
Daniel and I love fish...especially tilapia! This is a great, quick meal that is also healthy! I found shells that were 2 points each, so on weight watchers one taco was only 4-5 points. 




2 (1/2 inch-thick) slices white onion
1 (8 oz) package mini sweet bell peppers
Cooking spray
3/4 tsp. salt, divided
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper, divided
4 (5 oz) tilapia fillets
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 small jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
8 lime wedges (optional)
 
**For Daniel and I we just did 2 tilapia fillets and each had 2 tacos. The recipe calls for grilling the onion and peppers, but I did them in the skillet and they were great. 
 
Directions: 
Preheat grill to high heat.  Arrange onion slices and bell peppers on a grill rack coated with cooking spray.  Grill onions for 12 minutes, turning occasionally.  Remove onions and bell peppers from grill, and let stand for 5 minutes.  Slice onion rings in half.  Thinly slice bell peppers; discard stems and seeds.  Combine onion, bell peppers, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. black pepper in a small bowl.

Sprinkle fish evenly with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and remaining 3/8 tsp. black pepper.  Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Coat pan with cooking spray.  Add fish to pan, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.  

Warm tortillas according to package directions.  Divide fish, onion mixture and jalapeno slices evenly among tortillas.  Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
