Tilapia Tacos with Apple Salsa
Tilapia is a great choice for this taco because it has a nice, mild flavor that lends itself well to the spice rub and garlic. It cooks up firm and tender, perfectly complementing the taco’s chewy, creamy, and crunchy textures. And yet, despite the fish being so tasty, it’s the apple salsa — honey sweet and just slightly spicy — that always steals the show at our family dinners!
Our tip: Make an extra batch of the apple salsa. It makes a fantastic chip dip, and you can spoon it over a pork tenderloin, a slice of turkey, an avocado, or a baked squash.
