  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

    Rub the tilapia fillets with 2 tablespoons lime juice and season with salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Brush olive oil on both sides of each fillet.

  3. 3

    Grill the tilapia on the preheated grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Heat the tortillas on an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn and heat for another 5 to 10 seconds. Fill the warmed tortillas with flaked tilapia. Top with tomatillo salsa, avocado, and sour cream. Sprinkle with cilantro and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
