Ultimate Tilapia Fish Tacos
  1. 1

    Rub the tilapia fillets with 2 tablespoons of lime juice and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spray both sides of each fillet with cooking spray.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    In a blender, combine the yogurt, the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice, the cilantro, and the chipotle pepper. Pulse until the sauce is well blended. Set aside.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Warm each corn tortilla in a skillet over medium-low heat until heated through, about 1 minute. Divide the grilled fish evenly among the corn tortillas and serve with the cilantro-lime sauce, cabbage, cheese, tomato, avocado, salsa, and green onions.
