I live in the southwest and these were not what we would consider "fiery" around here, but they were GREAT. For more "fire," however, I added a finely chopped jalapeno to the salsa, as well as some garlic powder and two chopped tomoatoes. It was terrific--like a Mexican salad. We virtually inhaled 2 pounds of Tilapia (made a bit more, as I had extra salsa, given the added ingredients) amongst four people! Thank you for the wonderful recipe; I should add that it totally eclipsed another fish taco recipe (battered cod with cabbage type topping) from this site, which we previously thought was great. Until now! :-)

This recipe had excellent flavor but even though I cut the spices in half, it was still too overpowering and made us not be able to enjoy the flavor of the fish as much. I used halibut. Will probably make again but use less spice.

This was excellent! I've had tilapia in restaurants, but it's always been smothered with sauce--this recipe really let the flavor of the fish come through. I took other reviewers' advice and used half the cayenne and black pepper. Plus, I didn't actually make tacos--I just served the fish with the salsa on top. I can see how this would make delicious tacos, though.

My husband LOVED these and I thought they were pretty good - but it's possible that I'm not a big fish taco fan, these being the first I've ever had. Husband said it's one of the best meals I've ever made and he's hoping I make them regularly from now on. I reduced the red pepper and added black beans to the salsa. Made them with the Easy Spanish Rice and Banana Chimichangas (sooo yummy) also from this website for a great Cinco de Mayo meal.

This was soooo salty! I don't know if 2 tablespoons is a typo or if they really love salt. If I make this again I probably wouldn't use any salt at all. The corn salsa was great. I used cabbage instead of jicama.

The salsa makes this recipe! I made the salsa a day ahead so the flavors could meld. Also added some chopped tomato to the salsa for even more flavor. I seasoned the fish to my family's taste with Cajun/Creole seasoning. May try adding a little chili powder to the fish next time for some extra zip.

These were great! Perfect spice level and lots of flavor. I've been looking for the perfect fish taco recipe and have finally found it. I did make a few alterations. The store was out of jicama, so I just ommitted it. I added 1 avocado and some diced tomatos just for fun and did not add any sour cream.

This was really good, but soooooo spicy. I had to wash some of them off the fish before cooking, & the spices were so strong and in the air that everyone who came into the kitchen started coughing! But they all liked the flavor! I'll make it again but will go easy on the spices. We liked the salsa, & I also added some shredded lettuce & a bit of cheese.

This recipe was wonderful! I'm not really fond of fish, but this was a winner. Not too spicy as you might think from all the pepper in it. The salsa is so different from anything I have ever made. We loved it. I will diefinetely make this one again.

Loved this dish. I did cut back on the spices. I also added diced tomatoes and a can of black beans to the salsa. Yummy! The salsa was colorful and great with tortilla chips as well. I plan on making this dish again soon.

Even better than the fish tacos that I had in San Diego! I put some Co-Jack cheese on the filets before topping them with the salsa.

These were excellent and a welcome change from the ordinary. Next time I will try grilled shrimp. If you have never used cayanne pepper before, touch a very small bit on your tounge to gague how spicy to make them.

Yes, I know I should have realized that when it said fiery, it would be hot. But holy hannah, I cut the cayenne to 1 tsp., pepper and salt to 1/2 tsp each and it still almost took our heads off.(to those who can eat it that hot, hats off to you) Still it was fabulous, and you HAVE to make the corn salsa with it. I doulbed corn (no jicama) and chopped up a avacado. My kids loved it, the oldest even loved the heat, youngest not so much and my husband ate it sans the salsa or avacado. With a little tweaking for our "tender midwest" palate, I will definatly make this again.

I sprinkled the spices too liberally, my husband thought this way too hot. I loved it as is, but next time I'll make it a bit less hot. I did not use sour cream, but I had guacamole that I put on instead. I used flour tortillas because I like them better. There was plenty of corn salsa (no jicama could be found, I added a bit of tomato), so I am making this again tonight. I loved it, just be careful on the spices if others are spice-sensitive!

Delish! I blackened the corn in a skillet (no oil or water) and added diced avocado. This was so very good! Enjoy!

This was delicious! I made some adjustments - no jicama, extra cilantro, less cayanne. Great! Really fast & easy as well. I don't have a grill, so I used a Le Crueset grill pan & it turned out fine. Like another reviewer said, I would use flour tortilla next time, because I don't think my grocery's corn are that fresh.

We fixed these tacos for a group of friends who gather at our house on Friday nights for fellowship and food. THEY WERE GREAT. Our friends were still raving about them on Sunday morning when we met for breakfast. We did follow some of the recommendations that suggested cutting back on the cayenne pepper for those who like less spicy food. We had the "hot" fish and the not so "hot" fish. We will definitely make these again.
