Fish Tacos in Lettuce Wraps (Oven-Baked)
Ingredients:
Fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, tilapia, halibut or tuna)
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 head of iceberg or butter lettuce, leaves separated to make wraps
1/2 cup finely chopped red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 lime, cut into wedges
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Fish:
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and rub each fillet with taco seasoning to coat thoroughly.
Place each seasoned fillet on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal.
Fold the foil around the fish, sealing the edges to form a packet, ensuring there is a little room inside for air circulation.
Bake the Fish:
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
Prepare the Lettuce Wraps:
While the fish is baking, rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry. Choose the largest leaves to use as wraps.
Assemble the Tacos:
Remove the fish from the oven and carefully open the foil packets to let the steam escape.
Flake the cooked fish with a fork and distribute evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Top the fish with chopped red cabbage, shredded carrots, and diced tomatoes.
Add a spoonful of low-fat Greek yogurt to each taco for creaminess.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and squeeze a lime wedge over each taco for extra flavor.
Serve:
Serve the tacos immediately, offering extra lime wedges on the side.
This oven-baked method using aluminum foil is a great way to keep the fish moist and flavorful while cutting down on added fats, making it an even healthier option!
