Ingredients

For the fish

500 g of tilapia (about 4 fillets)
15 ml (1 tbsp) of olive oil
15 ml (1 tbsp) of lemon juice
5 ml (1 tsp) of lemon and garlic herbs
Salt and pepper to taste

For the salsa

½ green bell pepper
½ red bell pepper
125 ml (½ cup) cherry tomatoes (color of your choice)
2 green onions
125 ml (½ cup) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
A few sprigs of fresh cilantro, chopped
45 ml (3 tbsp) lime juice
15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
2.5 ml (½ tsp) sriracha
Salt and pepper to taste

For assembling the tacos

4 medium-sized whole wheat tortillas
A drizzle of olive oil
A pinch of coarse salt
125 ml (½ cup) 2% plain Greek yogurt
1 avocado, sliced

Preparation

Preheat the broiler in the oven for tortilla cooking.
Cut the salsa ingredients; dice the bell peppers, quarter the cherry tomatoes, and slice the green onions.
Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl: black beans, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
Add lime juice, olive oil, sriracha, salt, and pepper to the salsa, then mix well.
In a pan over medium heat, cook the tilapia fillets in olive oil with the herbs for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden on the outside and flaky when cut.
Towards the end of cooking, drizzle the tilapia fillets with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Broil in the oven for 1 minute (watch closely to achieve a crisp texture without burning the tortillas).
Assemble the tacos by placing the fish fillets, salsa, avocado slices, and a dollop of Greek yogurt. Feel free to add lime juice or sriracha sauce for extra flavor.
