Ingredients:  
1 lb tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
1 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
2 cups diced tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tbsp lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
8 5-inch white corn tortillas (I used La Tortilla Factory Fiber & Flax)

Directions:
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Saute onion until translucent, then add garlic. Mix well.

Place tilapia on the skillet and cook until the flesh starts to flake. Add jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Saute over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking up the fish with the spoon to get everything mixed well; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, heat tortillas on a skillet a few minutes on each side to warm (no oil needed). Serve a little over 1/4 cup of fish on each warmed tortilla with a slice or 2 of avocado and enjoy!
