Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
Print0Warm summer nights are perfect for enjoying light, refreshing dinners. This recipe for fresh fish tacos is low-calorie and delicate, with just a little kick from the garlic, cumin and cilantro spice rub. Tilapia is a good source of protein, vitamin B12 and selenium, which is being studied for its role in reducing prostate cancer risk. Cook outside on the grill and serve alongside simple black beans or a cool avocado salad.
Ingredients
Instructions
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.
