Tilapia Tacos

I founds this recipe on www.food.com but took a few liberties with it.  You can find the original recipe here.



Tilapia Tacos
1/2 c. Greek yogurt
1/2 c. mayo (you could just use 1 c. Greek yogurt and omit the mayo)
1/4 c. chopped cilantro (I just use a handful)
4 tbsp. Emeril's Southwest Seasoning, divided
1 lb. tilapia fish
2 tbsp. vegetable oil (an odorless coconut oil is a good option)
2 tbsp. lime juice
12 taco shells or tortillas (a good tortilla recipe can be found here)
Toppings: guacamole, pico de gallo or chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce or cabbage, lime juice, salsa, diced, salted cucumbers, cheese, etc.

Combine the yogurt and mayo (if using) with the cilantro and 2 tbsp. of the southwest seasoning.  Set aside.  Combine the lime juice, oil, remaining seasoning and fish.  Allow to marinate for 10-20 minutes.  Cook the tilapia and marinade in a skillet (preferably cast iron) on medium heat for about 3 minutes per side.  Transfer to a bowl and flake the fish.  Assemble the tacos as you wish.  In the picture I used store bought tacos (I was being lazy this week) layering the guacamole, yogurt sauce, lettuce, fish, salsa and then pico de gallo.  I forgot to grate the Monterey cheese that I got.  I would have put that under the salsa.  Enjoy!
