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.
