Cilantro Lime Tilapia Tacos

Good Evening Everyone!

I first want to start by saying THANK YOU to my OH family for giving me the support to get this started, the blog had 130 views in about 6 hours which I find VERY exciting.

I came across this recipe on Skinny Taste for Cilantro Lime Tilapia Tacos. This is very VSG friendly and family friendly! VSGers should opt out of the tortilla part when enjoying this dish with their family! If you are on mushees I would recommend making it then putting it in a food processer before eating. Enjoy!!!!

Note: I am not sure if the fat content in the nutrition facts includes the avocado or not.

  1. Instead of a tortilla you could make one of those cheese crisp things and shape it like a taco shell. Might work!
