Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
- 12 small corn tortillas (or substitute with whole-wheat tortillas)
- 3 Tbsp. canola oil divided
- 3 Tbsp. lime juice, divided
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped and divided
- 2-3 cups thinly sliced cabbage, mix of red and white varieties
- 3 green onions sliced thinly
- 1 small red onion sliced thinly
- 1 large tomato chopped
- 1 lb. Tilapia fish fillets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. each salt and freshly ground pepper
- Canola oil cooking spray
- 6 lime wedges for garnish
- Hot Sauce (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Place tortillas in aluminum foil and cover completely. When oven has reached 300 degrees, place tortillas inside to warm. (This also could be done on grill while fish is cooking.)
- Combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro, cabbage, green onions, red onion, and tomato dice in a bowl and set aside.
- Season fish with garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, remaining oil and cilantro, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Place fish on grill/pan, careful to only turn once so it doesn't break apart. Let cook over medium high heat for about 4 minutes on first side and then about 2 minutes on second side. Let rest on large plate for about 5 minutes. Carefully flake apart the fish into roughly 1-inch size pieces.
- Assemble tacos by placing fish and then slaw in each tortilla. Serve immediately with lime wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
