This super-fast, super-tasty fish taco is sure to become your go-to for a delicious, light dinner in about the time you can set the table. Tilapia is a mild white fish that cooks quickly and is perfect for tacos because of its flaky texture. Keep an eye on the oven though, as you won't want to overcook the thin filets or the fish will be dry. For added moisture and a zip of citrus flavor - always a good idea with fish - squeeze a lime wedge over the filets just as you take them out of the oven. Then proceed as directed. Served with a side of cilantro-sprinkled rice or a helping of slightly soupy black beans with a shake of red pepper flakes on top, you've got a great meal in minutes.
