Grilled Fish Tacos

Tilapia may be substituted, but it's difficult to grill without a grill basket. In the last few 10-15 seconds, warm the tortillas on the grill. The fish may, also, be prepared stovetop by frying the fish in a little olive oil or butter.

Ingredients

• Adobo-Rubbed Fish

• 4  teaspoons chili powder (ancho, chipotle or New Mexico)
• 2  tablespoons lime juice
• 2  tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil
• 1  teaspoon ground cumin
• 1  teaspoon onion powder
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 2  lbs  mahi-mahi  halibut (skinned if necessary and cut into 4 portions) or 2  lbs  tilapia fillets (skinned if necessary and cut into 4 portions)

• Coleslaw

• 1⁄4 cup sour cream or 1⁄4 cup  Greek yogurt
• 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
• 2  tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2  tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
• 1  teaspoon lime zest
• 2  tablespoons lime juice
• 1  teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
•  fresh ground pepper
• 3  cups  finely shredded red cabbage or 3  cups green cabbage
• 12  flour or 12  corn tortillas, warmed
•  sliced avocado (optional garnish)

Directions

1. To prepare coleslaw: Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, green onions, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix until smooth and creamy. Add cabbage and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use and may be made up to 4 hours ahead.
2. To prepare fish: Combine chili powder, lime juice, oil, cumin, onion powder, garlic power, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub adobo rub all over fish. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes for the fish to absorb the flavor.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil the grill rack or use a grilling basket (which works best due to the tenacity of fish sticking to the grill). Grill the fish until it is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a platter and separate into large chunks.
4. Serve the tacos family-style by passing the fish, tortillas, coleslaw and taco garnishes separately.
