Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 2 units scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the tilapia fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings by shredding the cabbage, dicing the avocado, and chopping the cilantro.
Mix the plain Greek yogurt with chili powder in a separate bowl to make a creamy sauce.
Grill the tilapia fillets for about 4 minutes on each side until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or a skillet for about 15 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the flaked fish onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, and a drizzle of the yogurt sauce.
Garnish with thinly sliced scallions for added flavor and serve the tacos immediately.
