Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and red pepper. Mix well to create the spice blend.
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Generously rub the spice mix onto both sides of each fillet to ensure an even coating.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly brush the tilapia fillets with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is grilling, warm the tortillas. You can do this on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 1 minute.
- Once the fish is cooked, use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces.
- Place a few pieces of grilled tilapia onto each tortilla.
- Top with a handful of shredded cabbage and slices of avocado.
- Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves over the tacos for a fresh touch.
- Serve each taco with a lime wedge to squeeze over the top, which will add a burst of citrus flavor.
- Arrange the prepared tacos on a serving platter and enjoy your delicious grilled tilapia fish tacos with friends and family!
Tips:
- Make sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat to ensure the tilapia cooks evenly.
- Use fresh, high-quality tilapia for the best taste and texture.
- Shred the cabbage finely to add a nice crunch without overpowering the tacos.
- Ripen your avocado properly to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fish just before serving to maximize the zesty flavor.
Enjoy your freshly made grilled tilapia fish tacos! The combination of juicy tilapia, crunchy cabbage, creamy avocado, and zesty lime creates a delightful mix of flavors and textures. Don't hesitate to experiment with additional toppings or sides to customize your meal.
