Instructions

In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, combine shallots, garlic, oregano, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, tequila, salt, and black pepper. Shake well. Add tilapia, ensuring it's fully coated with the marinade. Remove excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, flipping every 30 minutes to ensure even flavoring.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and coating it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Take the tilapia out of the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Place the marinated tilapia on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Discard the remaining marinade after use.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily when tested with a fork, approximately 10 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
