Baked Tilapia Fish Tacos are homemade, fresh, and flaborful. Great for a lighter taco night! Seasoned perfectly and topped with your favorites.

I didn't grow up eating seafood due to family allergies and diets. I had my first sushi roll right before starting college. I didn't cook my first fish until after graduation. You could say I'm a seafood newbie, but I'm making up for lost time and exploring new seafood recipes that I can't wait to share with you!

I love baking tilapia because it's so easy and tastes great every time! If you follow me on Instagram, you know how much we love tacos... Hello, Taco Tuesday every single week.

Sure, sometimes I'll switch it up with taquitos, enchiladas, chimichangas, or a taco salad. But this time I wanted to introduce seafood. Our local grocery store does have pre-portioned and seasoned tilapia strips, but I wanted to do all the prep work and use my own taco seasoning.
