Number Of Ingredients 31

MARINADE
1/4 c olive oil, extra virgin
2 Tbsp white vinegar
2 Tbsp lime juice, fresh
2 tsp lime zest
1 1/2 tsp honey
2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp old bay seasoning
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
DRESSING
1 lb tilapia fillets, cut into chunks
8 oz sour cream
1/2 c adobo sauce
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 tsp lime zest
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp old bay seasoning
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
TOPPINGS
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1 bunch cilantro, fresh, chopped
1 small cabbage head, cored and slices
8-10 radishes, sliced
1 small red onion, diced
2 jalapenos, fresh, sliced
2 limes, cut into wedges
10 oz package flour totillas

Steps:

  • 1. To make the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning, black pepper, and hot sauce in a bowl until blended. Place the tilapia in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover, and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.
  • 2. To make the dressing, combine the sour cream and adobo sauce in a bowl. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning. Add salt, and pepper in desired amounts. Cover, and refrigerate until needed.
  • 3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Set grate 4 inches from the heat. Remove fish from marinade, drain off any excess and discard marinade. Grill fish pieces until easily flaked with a fork, turning once, about 9 minutes.
  • 4. Assemble tacos by placing fish pieces in the center of tortillas with desired amounts of tomatoes, cilantro, and cabbage; drizzle with dressing. To serve, roll up tortillas around fillings, and garnish with lime wedges.
