Ultimate Fish Tacos
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds tilapia fillets
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 16 (5 inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
1
Begin by coating the tilapia fillets with a zesty mixture of 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, sprinkling them generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of smoky paprika. Next, lightly spray both sides of each fillet with cooking spray to ensure even browning.
2
Preheat your grill to a medium heat setting and give the grate a quick drizzle with oil to prevent sticking. This will help create a non-stick surface for your fish.
3
In a blender, combine a dollop of yogurt, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, some chopped cilantro, and a diced chipotle pepper. Pulse the mixture until it's smooth and well blended, creating a delicious sauce that will complement your grilled fish.
4
Once the grill is preheated, place the tilapia fillets on it and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they're easily flaked with a fork. This will ensure that your fish is cooked through and tender.
5
In a separate pan, warm each corn tortilla over medium-low heat for about 1 minute. This will make them soft and pliable, perfect for wrapping around your grilled fish.
6
Divide the cooked tilapia evenly among the warmed tortillas, and serve it with a variety of toppings - including a dollop of cilantro-lime sauce, crunchy cabbage, melted Monterey Jack cheese, juicy tomato, creamy avocado, spicy salsa, and a sprinkle of green onions.
