I have recently joined a food blogging community movement. #SundaySupperMovement. This particular group of bloggers gather around the table every Sunday in an effort to slow down; to savour not just the food, but each other. In our fast-paced, smart-phone-addicted world it’s nice to take the time, if only once a week, to gather together as a family and enjoy a home cooked meal.
Like other blogging groups, each Sunday finds this group meeting up behind a theme. This week the theme is “Heart Healthy”. Did you know February is American Heart Month? (Last week was Congenital Heart Defect Awareness week. I’d like to ask you to please check out my post in honor of our friends’ little boy with a CHD.)
Today’s event is being hosted by Ethel of eating in instead and Lori of Foxes Love Lemons. Below the recipe I’m sharing for today’s Sunday Supper you will find a list of other great Hearth Healthy ideas to place on your table.
Stuart has been asking for fish tacos for a few weeks now. I think he must really be missing living in Florida. Especially since it snows and is cold here. His thoughts of fish tacos and my thoughts of fish tacos are slightly different. Mr. Fitness is picturing light, healthy, and bright. I’m thinking crispy, fried, and kinda-healthy. The recipe I present to you marries the two worlds together for a very diet friendly and flavorful fish taco.
Oven Baked Tilapia Tacos
Ingredients:
- 2 tilapia fillets
- 1 C flour
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 C breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp sour cream
- 1/2 tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce
- zest 1 lime
- juice 1/2 lime
- 1/2 tbsp sugar, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
- 2 1/2 C broccoli slaw mix
- 8 taco sized flour tortillas
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Slice each fish fillet into 4 strips (cut in half lengthwise and then cut those in half widthwise).
- In a shallow bowl whisk together flour, chili powder, and a little S+P. In a separate bowl beat the two eggs. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dredge each fish strip in the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs. Place strips on a lightly greased, aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile make the slaw. In a small bowl combine sour cream, chipotle sauce, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, and salt.
- Pour dressing over the broccoli slaw. I suggest doing this slowly so as to not over dress the slaw.
- Assemble tacos: place two fish strips in each tortilla and top with the slaw. If desired, add other taco favorites – like cilantro, avocado, or tomato.

Welcome to Sunday Supper 🙂 I love fish tacos but hubby won’t eat them…so I let him have the fish in a sandwich instead. Whatever floats his boat! These look delicious!
That’s too funny! Happy Sunday. 🙂
You can never go wrong with tacos! YUM!
Nope!
Chad would love these!
Great for Friday! 😉
Love having a dressing instead of the usual salsa. And that avocado has me sold!
It’s fun to do something different every now and then!
Love tilapia tacos and your look so good!!
Thanks! Happy Sunday. 🙂
Love that the fish is baked, not fried! Such gorgeous tacos!!!
It gives it that same crunch without all the fat or the mess!!
Nothing better then a good tilapia taco! Welcome to Sunday Supper!
Thank you.
Fish tacos are always a good idea! These look great!
Thanks 🙂
I love fish tacos! Yum!
There are so many ways to go with them too!
Love that you still get the crunch without frying
No frying = no fat and more importantly no mess!
Perfect! I have dinner for tomorrow night!
Enjoy!!
Hello, my fellow Sunday Supper newbie! 🙂 I love, love tilapia, and I can’t believe I’ve never had it in taco form. I’m always torn between grilled and breaded fish for my tacos, so I’m pretty excited this combines the best of both!
Sometimes it’s just too cold to grill! 😉
I love fish tacos … and I love that you used broccoli slaw in yours! So creative!
I like it better than regular slaw because it has more texture.
