Blackened Tilapia Tacos

Ingredients

  • 4 Tilapia fillets thawed
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbs Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 Greek plain yogurt
  • 1 small bunch of cilantro snipped and finely chopped
  • 8 corn tortillas I only use raw corn tortillas. The quality is so much better!
  • 4 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • Shredded lettuce or fresh spinach

Instructions

  • Place tilapia fillets in 8x8 baking dish. In a small bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour over tilapia and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes allowing fish to marinade.
  • Meanwhile in a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt and cilantro. Stir well and refrigerate until ready for use.
  • Heat grill to medium heat. Remove tilapia from marinade and generously sprinkle Cajun seasoning all over each fillet.
  • Spray grill with olive oil cooking spray to prevent tilapia from sticking. Cook tilapia for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. When cooking fish or any meat, cook until slightly under-cooked. Remove and wrap in aluminum foil. Make sure all edges are sealed tightly. This allows the fish or meat to continue cooking at a lower heat and it will turn out extra tender and juicy.
  • Meanwhile, warm corn tortillas. Flake 1/2 of a fillet down the center and top with cilantro mixture, tomatoes, avocado, and lettuce.
