Ingredients

• ½ pound tilapia fillets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
• 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeno, diced
• 2 spring onions, diced
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 4 corn tortillas, warmed
• 1 avocado, pitted and peeled
• 1 lime
• ½ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Brush the tilapia fillets with a little olive oil and rub each fillet with cumin, cayenne, and a little salt and pepper. Arrange the fillets on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until the fish is opaque and flakey, around 20 minutes.
3. In the meantime, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno, spring onions, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Season the salsa with salt and pepper and store in the fridge to let the flavors meld together.
4. Once the fish is cooked through, gently break each fillet into a few pieces. Fill each taco with a dollop of salsa, a generous serving of seasoned tilapia, and a few avocado pieces. Squeeze a bit of lime juice on top of each taco and sprinkle on with cilantro. Enjoy!
