Grilled Tilapia Fish Tacos & E’s Guacamole

I think this is becoming my one of my favorite summer time recipes. It is no secret that E and I enjoy cooking together and as much as I love cooking together sometimes there are too many cooks in the kitchen. This recipe is fantastic as it gives everyone in the kitchen a job to do. We both work on our own separate recipes, but still get to enjoy sharing the space. It can also be made with many different versions. For example, we have added brown rice & black beans, sliced avocado, or guacamole. Tonight we had guacamole, coleslaw, and Tilapia. The recipe seems like a lot of work because of the amount of ingredients, but don’t be fooled, it is another quick 30-minute meal and requires no oven—great for summer!

Spice-Rubbed & Marinated Tilapia

4 tsp. chili powder

2 tbsp. lime juice

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

1 lb. Tilapia

Tortillas (we use 5)

Combine chili powder, lime juice, oil, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper into a small bowl. Rub spice marinade all over the fish, place in a plastic bag and let stand for 20-30 minutes.

Coleslaw

*Depending on how saturated you like your dressing will depend on how generous the servings of sour cream & mayonnaise versus the amount of Asian salad you add.

¼-cup light sour cream

¼-cup light mayonnaise

2 “heaping” tbsp. fresh cilantro

Zest of a lime

2 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp. sugar

2/3 tsp. salt
