BLACKENED TILAPIA TACO BOWLS

BLACKENED TILAPIA TACO BOWLS 
Who loves seafood? Honestly, confession time…. I don’t. Eeeeek! Or at least, I thought I didn’t. This Blackened Tilapia Taco Bowl changed my mind… big time 🙂
Look at all those pretty colors! The freshness of these bowls is just amazing.
You can make fish taco bowls with any type of fish that you like, although I would recommend that it’s a white, flaky fish… tilapia, cod, etc.
Taco bowls get a healthy twist with the addition of spicy blackened tilapia filets, garnished with buttery avocados and a splash of fresh lime juice!

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Pinch of oregano
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 4 tilapia filets or other white fish filet of your choice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels thawed (fresh corn from the cob would be awesome)
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups cooked cilantro lime rice
  • Fresh cilantro diced avocado, shredded lettuce, shredded purple cabbage, lime wedges
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Combine spices in a small dish. Sprinkle seasonings over tilapia filets, season with salt and pepper, rubbing the spices into the fish.
  2. Heat a large cast iron skillet to medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add minced garlic and saute for about 20 seconds, then add in your tilapia filets. Careful not to add too many and crowd your pan, I cooked just 2 filets at a time. Once you add your fish, don't move them around, let them really sear. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes or so. Check to be sure fish is completely cooked (fish will be completely white and flaky throughout). Remove to plate and repeat with additional fish filets. Sprinkle fish with lime zest.
  3. Add a drizzle of olive oil, corn, red onion and red bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring to allow them to roast and sear. Then stir and let them cook again another couple minutes until vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  4. Add in drained and rinsed black beans and heat for 1 minute
RECIPE NOTES
** Additional toppings could include shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, salsa, or pico de gallo.
** Additional ways to serve would be laid out on a plate, mixed together in a bowl, in a soft taco, on a salad, or with shrimp, chicken or pork.
