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

- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush the spice mixture evenly on both sides of each tilapia fillet.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and warm them on the grill for about 2 minutes, or until softened.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of shredded cabbage on each tortilla. Top with grilled tilapia, then drizzle generously with the adobo sauce.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
