Instructions
1
Gather all necessary ingredients beforehand.
2
Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, honey, seafood seasoning, hot pepper sauce, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined. Place the tilapia fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them; cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
3
Create the dressing by blending sour cream and adobo sauce in a bowl. Add lime juice, lime zest, seafood seasoning, cumin, and chili powder to the mixture and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste; cover and refrigerate until needed.
4
Preheat the grill for high heat and lightly oil the grates. Position the grate 4 inches from the heat source.
5
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade and grill the fish pieces until they are easily flaked with a fork, turning once, about 9 minutes.
6
Assemble the tacos by placing the grilled fish pieces in the center of tortillas with your desired amounts of tomatoes, cabbage, and cilantro. Drizzle the dressing over the fillings.
7
To serve, roll up the tortillas around the fillings and garnish with lime wedges.
