Tropical Fish Tacos

These tacos are made with Cajun seared tilapia topped with a tropical cole slaw and served in a crispy (not greasy) tortilla shell with pepper jack cheese. One bit of these tacos and you'll be picturing yourself on a white sand beach somewhere in the tropics with an ice cold beverage!

For this recipe, you'll need the following:

• 2 tilapia filets
• Your favorite Cajun seasoning
• 2 TBS vegetable oil 
• 4 lime wedges (additional wedges for garnish if so desired)
• Tropical Cole Slaw
• 4 corn tortillas
• Cooking spray
• 1 cup grated pepper-jack cheese
• Thinly sliced green onions (white and light green parts only)
• Avocado slices (optional)

Begin be generously seasoning both sides of the tilapia with the Cajun seasoning. 

Place the oil in a hot non-stick pan. Sear the tilapia for about 2 minutes on both sides until it begins to flake apart. Break the fish into small chunks, squeeze the 4 lime wedges over the fish and set aside.

If you have a griddle, preheat it to about 350 degrees. If you don't have a griddle, you can us a non-stick frying pan. Spray one side of a tortilla with cooking spray and place it sprayed side down onto the griddle or frying pan. Repeat with the other 3 tortillas.

As soon as the tortillas begin to brown (small brown spots on the underside), sprinkle 1/4 cup of pepper-jack cheese over each tortilla. Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat.

Place a tortilla shell on a plate. Top it with 1/4 of the tilapia and then some of the Tropical Cole Slaw. Finally, sprinkle the taco with the thinly sliced green onions. Optionally, you can also top them with a slice of avocado.

Grab a cold beverage, get out in the sun and enjoy!
