Ingredients

• 2 pieces Tilapia fillets (skinless)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas (8-inch diameter)
• 1 medium Avocado (sliced)
• 1 cup Cabbage (thinly shredded)
• 1 small Carrot (julienned or shredded)
• 0.25 cup Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 medium Lime (zested and juiced)
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (low-fat)
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides of the fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle with ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the fillets in the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, and optional hot sauce. Stir until smooth to make a zesty yogurt sauce.

Step 5

Warm the whole wheat tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a dry skillet for about 10 seconds to make them more pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the wraps: Lay one tortilla flat and spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce across the center. Top with a portion of the cooked tilapia (flaked into large chunks), shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

Step 8

Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and a dollop of yogurt sauce on the side if desired.
