Ingredients
  

  • 4 tilapia filets
  • Dry coleslaw for a little bit of crunch
  • Cajun seasoning coat both sides of filets lightly before cooking
  • Pico de gallo optional topping
  • Guacamole optional topping
  • Flour tortillas (flour holds together better than corn)
  • Spicy sauce (see below)
  • Additional toppings of your choosing

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all toppings for easy serving.
  • Coat both sides of fish filets with cajun seasoning, then cook all for around 3-4 minutes per side over medium-high heat. Remove, set aside.
  • While fish is cooking, warm tortillas in microwave. Stack needed tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat for 10-15 seconds, take the stack out and flip over then another 10-15 seconds.
  • Set the table with all toppings, plates of tortillas and fish. You can let people make their own tacos with their own toppings. I eat them with everything, but there's always someone that doesn't like something so it's easier this way.
  • Eat and enjoy.
