78: Blackened Tilapia Tacos

Monday, Monday.  I always like to make fast meals on Mondays because that's usually the day I run to the grocery store after a long day at work.  When I saw this recipe for blackened tilapia tacos, I knew it would be perfect for a Monday meal.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup fat free sour cream
~2 tsbp chopped cilantro
Juice from a medium size lime
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp dried oregano
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
5 tilapia fillets
olive oil
8 tortillas (use corn to be Gluten-free)
1 avocado - sliced
some salsa

The How To:
Combine cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeno in a food processor (I used a Magic Bullet) 
Add sour cream to the mix
Grab a little bowl, and add all the spices (paprika, brown sugar, oregano, salt, cumin, red pepper)
Sprinkle the rub evenly over the fish (or put in a bag and shake) 
Heat some olive oil in a large pan
Add the fillets to the pan and cook about 3 minutes on each side (until it flakes easily) 
Warm tortillas with a moist paper town for about 30 seconds
Create tacos with the fish, and green mix
Serve with avocado slices, cheese, and salsa if desired

Will and I both agreed that this dish was just missing some shredded lettuce for a little extra crunch.  Other than that, this is totally a win.  It's just spicy enough with the jalapeno mix.  This dish is Will approved!
