Substituting fish for ground beef to your tacos is an easy way to make tacos a healthier meal. We recommend using tilapia. For this recipe take about 6 6oz tilapia fillets and spice them up with your favorite Mexican style spices. Now toss them on a hot grill for a few minutes on each side. Fill the soft flour tortilla with some lettuce, cucumber, radishes and lime juice – sour cream is optional.
About half of all Americans eat fish once a week. A I’d bet the vast majority are eating some kind of fried fillet of fish sandwich as some fast food joint. The benefits of eating fish and and most all seafood clearly outweighs the health risks. But please prepare the seafood in a healthy manner. That means more grilling and baking not frying. Fish have lots of vitamins and minerals that help us stay healthy and most fish has less calories and bad fat with as much protein than the other meats. Plus some fish come jam packed with good omega 3 fats that you won’t find in other meats. Sure eat less swordfish and shark – but why not add some more salmon to you meals this week?
Here a some simple things to remember when you shop for fish.
