Slimming World: Fish Tacos

I can’t help myself, I guess it comes from living in Texas, cause at home, I never ate this kind of food, but tacos are a big food group here in the south.  I’ve had a craving for fish tacos lately, and decided a rainy Saturday evening would be the perfect opportunity to bring something ‘sunny’ into our day.

Tilapia is a versatile fish, it’s also tasty and super-speedy – it’s a great choice for this kind of meal and I find myself using it more often.

If you’d like to save yourself 10 syns (for two 100cal tortilla wraps) what I tend to do is use a bed of lettuce and leave out the tortillas altogether.

But every now and then, I splurge on the carbs!

Slimming World: Fish Tacos
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 2
 
Ingredients
  • Two tilapia fillets (sliced in to 4 strips each)
  • shredded lettuce
  • sliced bell pepper
  • ½ carrot - grated
  • ½ an onion diced
  • 1tbsp taco seasoning
  • 60g grated cheddar cheese (Syn if you don't use as HeA)
  • 4 x 100cal soft tortillas (20 syns)
  • Pam
  • For the sauce:
  • Taco seasoning (I like mine quite strong so I added a few tbsps)
  • 4tbsps of natural fat free yoghurt (or more if you like it saucier!)
  • ¼ of a cucumber finely diced
  • 1 tsp of diced garlic
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle the fish with a little taco seasoning and fry in some pam/fry light for about 10 minutes until cooked through. (At around 7 minutes, toss in the onion if you don't like eating raw onion.)
  2. While the fish is cooking, make the sauce. Combine the yoghurt, remaining taco seasoning, cucumber and garlic in a bowl and stir until mixed.
  3. Compile your taco, start with your tortilla (which could also be whole wheat and one of which can be used as your HeB) flat, drizzle some sauce down the centre, add your lettuce, carrot, bell peppers, I tossed in some additional cucumber but you could add any number of superfree veggies) add 15g of shredded cheese to each of the 4 tacos and top with your freshly cooked fish (and onions).

Let me know if you try it, or tweak it…I’m always looking for better ways to improve upon recipes!
