Ingredients

• 4 pieces tilapia fillets
• 2 pieces lime
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 non-stick cooking spray
• 8 pieces white corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 piece jalapeno, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 piece avocado, diced
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Start by marinating the tilapia fillets. In a small bowl, mix the juice of 1 lime, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture over the tilapia fillets ensuring they are evenly coated. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the fish is marinating, prepare the slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, juice of 1 lime, chopped cilantro, non-fat Greek yogurt, and finely chopped jalapeno in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 4

Add the tilapia fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas by heating them individually on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 20 seconds.

Step 6

To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked tilapia on each warm tortilla, add a scoop of cabbage slaw, some red onion slices, and diced avocado.

Step 7

Drizzle each taco with hot sauce to taste and serve immediately.
