  • 4 tbsp Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

    Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  7. 7

    While the fish is cooking, shred the red cabbage thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline.

  8. 8

    Mash the avocados in a medium bowl, then add lime juice, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeño, and Greek yogurt; mix until combined to create the slaw.

  9. 9

    Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

  10. 10

    Warm the flour tortillas in the same skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
