Ingredients
- 1 pound tilapia fillets, cut into strips
- ½ cup lime juice
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
- 1 teaspoon chipotle-flavored hot sauce (such as Tabasco®)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey powder
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅔ cup shredded green cabbage
- ⅔ cup shredded red cabbage
- ⅔ cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed
- 4 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
Instructions
- Combine tilapia strips and 1/2 cup lime juice in a glass container. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
- Combine yogurt, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, hot sauce, and salt for spicy dressing in a blender or food processor; pulse until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
- When ready to cook the tilapia, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Remove tilapia from the lime juice and shake off excess. Place in a small baking dish. Discard the remaining lime juice.
- Whisk 1/3 cup lime juice, honey powder, avocado oil, cumin, and paprika for honey-cumin sauce together in a small bowl. Pour over tilapia to cover.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare slaw: Combine green and red cabbage, carrots, and cilantro in a bowl. Remove spicy dressing from the refrigerator and pour all but 1/4 cup over the slaw; toss to combine.
- Build tacos by putting 1 tablespoon remaining spicy dressing on each tortilla. Top with tilapia strips, slaw, and tomatoes.
- Use any white fish in place of tilapia, if preferred.
