Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Chili Lime Fish Tacos.
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of lime juice, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Rub this mixture over both sides of the tilapia fillets, then brush them with olive oil.
Step 3
Place the seasoned tilapia on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4
While the fish is grilling, heat the corn tortillas on an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for about 10 to 15 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
Step 5
Once the fish is cooked, flake it into bite-sized pieces and fill each warm tortilla with the flaked tilapia.
Step 6
Top the tacos with tomatillo salsa, slices of avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a drizzle of the remaining lime juice.
