Blackened Tilapia Baja Tacos

By devogirl

Wow- great, easy recipe. The fish was delicate, flavorful and pretty. The onion jalapeno sauce was delicious. To shave calories, we ate the leftovers on top of a salad, added tomatoes, and omitted the avocado and tortilla. Served with spanish rice and green beans.
