Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Cabbage, shredded
- 4 Lime wedges
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the spice mixture evenly on both sides of each tilapia fillet.
Place the tilapia fillets on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and warm them on the grill for about 2 minutes, or until softened.
In another bowl, prepare the adobo sauce by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic powder. Adjust seasoning to taste.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of shredded cabbage on each tortilla. Top with grilled tilapia, then drizzle generously with the adobo sauce.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
