These quick and easy fish tacos combine simple ingredients \u2014 jalape\u00f1o peppers, lime and cilantro \u2014 for a flavor-packed meal. The low-calorie dish goes great with a side of black beans or guacamole<\/a>, but the tacos are just as splendid on their own. Tilapia is an excellent light choice to fill a corn tortilla, but any mild, flaky white fish would do.<\/p>\n
