Another winner from Sharon! This is a really fast, easy and flavourful recipe and can easily use any white fish. I followed widleyeris's excellent suggestion and seasoned the fish with cumin, chili pwd, garlic salt, pepper and Mrs. Dash spicy seasoning before grilling. For the guacomle mixture I used 3 small fresh jalepeno's finely chopped instead of cayenne pepper. Also, using greek style yogurt helped give it a heavier body. We used whole pita bread for added texture and support. Definitely will be a frequent meal from now on and can't wait to make it for our next backyard bbq with friends.

This recipe was delicious! I did make a few changes though. I seasoned the halibut with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and Mrs. Dash Spicy seasoning. This really made the fish sing! I didn’t have yogurt, so I used sour cream for the guac. sauce, it worked just fine. I used lightly fried corn tortillas instead of flour, personal preference. Lastly, I sprinkled fresh cilantro on the tacos which really took the tacos to a next level. I will make this again and again! Good thing my dad is a commercial halibut fishermen so I get all the fish I want!

I made several changes to the recipe to reflect the ingredients I had on hand and personal tastes. I used tilapia filets and sprinkled them with a little ancho powder as well as the salt & pepper. I reduced the amount of sauce drastically by using 1 avacado. The guacamole sauce was a bit tart with both the lemon & yougurt, but it contrasted nicely with the fish. I cooked the fish on an indoor grill so the recipe was fast and made a great weeknight supper. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Reviewed for ZWT 3.
