Fish Tacos with Cabbage SlawVeggie Turnovers
  • 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.
