Ingredients in Healthy Tilapia Recipes

You only need 3 ingredients to make this grilled tilapia fillet recipe!

And just incase you don’t want to make the Homemade Taco Seasoning. Or don’t have the Olive oil spray, I have some substitutes for you.

• Tip #1 – You can use store-bought Taco Seasoning in place of homemade. Just be sure to use the amounts in the recipe card, as a whole packet is way too much.
• Tip #2 – If you don’t have, or don’t want to use olive oil spray, rub the tilapia fillets in 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
