GRILLED TILAPIA TACOS

Steps:

• Mix canola oil, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper for marinade together in a large bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. Add tilapia fillets and marinate in the mixture for 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove fish from marinade and rub off remaining jalapenos and cilantro.
• Cook the marinated tilapia on the preheated grill until easily flaked with a fork, about 3 minutes per side.
• Mix Mexican crema and habanero hot sauce together in a small bowl.
• Shred cooked fish on a plate using 2 forks.
• Heat a skillet over high heat. Warm flour tortillas in the hot pan, about 20 seconds per side.

GRILLED TILAPIA FISH TACOS WITH ADOBO SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the Adobo Sauce, wisk together Sour Cream, Adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chiles, Seafood seasoning, Chili Powder, Cumin, Lime Juice, and Lime Zest. And refrigerator until ready to use.
• Then wisk together Canolia Oil, Ancho Chile Powder, chopped Cilantro, chopped Jalapeno and the juice of 1 Lime. Then marinade the fish in this mixture for at least 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile (while your fish is marinadeing), you can chop up the rest of your taco toppings.
• To grill the fish, I used a non-stick spray on aluminum foil or you can use another type of grill top if you have one (to prevent the fish from falling into the grill). You want to grill the fish for 4 minutes on one side, then turn it over and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand for about 5 minutes.
• The corn tortillas I sprayed lightly with oil and placed on the grill for about 30 seconds and they come out perfect.
• Fill your tortillas with the grilled fish, top with shredded green cabbage, grilled corn, avocado, cilantro, onion, tomatoes, etc. and then top with the Adobo sauce. Eat and enjoy!
