Recipe type: Main Course
Cuisine: Southwest
Serves: 4
 
Weight Watchers Info: 7 PointsPlus for 2 tacos (2 tortillas, ¼ pound fish). Carbohydrates: 27g for 2 tacos.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound tilapia fillets (or just eyeball how many tacos worth of meat you want)
  • 8 corn tortillas (I usually make extra, to account for ripped or burnt tortillas)
  • Southwest or Mexican Seasoning or other seasoned salt, to taste
  • ½ Head cabbage, chopped
  • ½ Sweet onion, diced
  • ½ Cup cilantro, diced
  • 1 large tomato, diced (or 2-3 Romas)
  • Fresh salsa (optional, but I use it if we don’t do tomatoes)
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat gas grill.
  2. Place smoker box or foil packet of moist mesquite chips on burner (optional)
  3. Shake seasoning on both sides of fillets.
  4. Place filets on non-stick aluminum foil or spray/wipe foil with cooking oil.
  5. Put fillets and foil on grill, poke holes in foil all around fillets.
  6. Cover grill--cook for 8-15 minutes, as necessary to cook the fillets all the way through.
  7. While grill is pre-heating, start chopping and dicing cabbage, onion, tomatoes, and cilantro. Continue while cooking fish, if necessary.
  8. When fish is nearly done, heat tortillas on stove over medium heat, 30-60 seconds each. Place in aluminum foil to keep warm.
  9. Take fish off grill, cut into taco-sized pieces (or small enough for multiple pieces per taco) and set up toppings and tortillas to make an assembly line.
  10. Assemble tacos and eat!
Notes
