Fish Tacos with Avocado
Yields1 Serving
 1 cup coleslaw mix
 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
 1 green onion, sliced
 1 tsp chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
 4 tsp canola oil, divided
 2 tsp lime juice
 0.50 tsp ground cumin
 0.50 tsp salt, divided
 0.25 tsp pepper, divided
 2 tilapia fillets (6 oz. each)
 0.50 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
 2 flour tortillas, optional
1

Place the first 4 ingredients in a bowl; toss with 2 teaspoons oil, lime juice, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Refrigerate until serving.

2

Pat fillets dry with paper towels; sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; cook tilapia until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 3-4 minutes per side. Top with slaw and avocado.

If using tortillas, wrap in damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.

If you’re following a low-carb diet, omit the tortillas! If not, wrap in tortillas before serving or pair it up with a whole grain side like brown rice pilaf or corn and pepper sauté.
