½ cup lime juice
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 peppers 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

Steps:

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.
