Tilapia Tacos


Recipe via The Bitchin' Kitchen

Ingredients:

1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (or reduced-fat sour cream)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (remove the seeds if you don't want a lot of spice)
1 cup thinly sliced white onion (about three-quarters of a large onion)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4-6 Tilapia fillets (if they're small, buy 6, if they're larger buy 4)
Non-stick cooking spray
8 small corn tortillas
Thinly sliced avocado

Directions:

Preheat the broiler to high, and spray a large baking dish (you may need 2 dishes to fit all the fish) with non-stick cooking spray.

Rinse the Tilapia, and thoroughly dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Combine the yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeno in a mini-food processor. Pulse until smooth. Combine the yogurt sauce and sliced onions in a small bowl, toss to combine, and refrigerate until ready to use.

In a small bowl, stir together paprika, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, salt, cumin, and cayenne. Sprinkle the seasoning over the Tilapia, pressing to adhere. Place the Tilapia in the prepared baking dish, and broil until cooked through, 6-9 minutes.

While the Tilapia is cooking, heat the tortillas according to the package directions. To serve, divide onion mixture, Tilapia, and avocado evenly among the warmed tortillas. Serve immediately.
