With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of creativity, these tacos will fill you up without slowing down your diet.
So, what do you need to make keto fish tacos? Well, quite a few things, but don’t worry, it’s still relatively easy to make. First, gather three green onions, one cup of diced peppers, one teaspoon of sea salt, one teaspoon of dried oregano, one teaspoon of garlic powder, the juice from one lemon, one tablespoon of olive oil, one-pound of tilapia, and one head of cabbage.
In addition, you’ll need a few things for the tacos themselves, such as six low-carb tortillas, a half cup of mayonnaise, and one jalapeno pepper. The beautiful thing about this recipe is that the ingredients are flexible, so you can add or remove whatever you want or have on hand.
Once you have everything, you’re ready to make your keto fish tacos. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, spread the diced peppers, green onions, sea salt, oregano, garlic powder, lemon juice, and olive oil over the parchment paper.
Place the tilapia fillets on top of the seasoning mix and spread it over the top of the fish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Once the fish is cooked through, remove it from the oven and shred it with a fork or your hands.
Once the fish is shredded, let it cool for a few minutes and set it aside. Now it’s time to assemble the tacos. Take the tortillas and lightly spread the mayonnaise over them. Sprinkle a bit of shredded cabbage and the shredded tilapia onto each of the tacos.
Add some jalapeno slices to the top and then roll the tacos up and serve them while they’re warm and crispy. The fun part about any meal is adding your own special touches, so don’t be afraid to season your tacos to your liking. A few slices of avocado, some cilantro, a sprinkle of cheese, and a touch of sour cream would kick this dish up a notch.
These tacos are the perfect meal for those who are on a keto diet and want to enjoy the flavors of Mexican food. Keto Fish Tacos are a tasty dish that you can make in minutes and they’re sure to please anyone’s taste buds.
