Recipe: 5-Minute Fish Tacos

Need a quick meal for two that’s also low-fat and healthy? These delicious fillets are thin and flaky — and they cook up in five minutes!

Ingredients

• 2 four-ounce frozen or fresh firm, white fish fillets (think flounder, cod, snapper, tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix labeled “less or lower sodium”
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup shredded cabbage (or use a coleslaw mix — cabbage and carrots without any sauce)
• 1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 six-inch low-carb whole grain tortillas

Directions

1. Place the fillets in a non-stick pan, sprinkle with seasoning and add the water.
2. Cover the pan and cook on medium-high heat for five minutes or until fish is cooked thoroughly.
3. Warm tortillas in microwave for 1 minute (or lightly toast in oven).
4. Flake the fillets.
5. On each tortilla, spoon two ounces of the fish, 1/4 cup shredded cabbage and one tablespoon shredded cheese. Top with extra salsa as desired.
