Grilled Fish Tacos with Spicy Mexican Crema

Yumm-o!!! I adore the grilled fish tacos at Pappasito's, so....I decided to create my own version...two thumbs from the dinner table tonight. Enjoy!!!

4 tilapia fillets
olive oil
Mesquite seasoning - I use Goode Co. BBQ Mesquite Shake
chili powder
garlic powder
kosher salt
corn tortillas
lime wedges
1 bag coleslaw mix
Pepperworks brand candied jalapenos*
Pepperworks Brand Raspberry Chipotle salsa*

For the Crema

1 six oz carton fat free Fage plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp taco seasoning
1 tbsp minced candied jalapenos
1 tbsp juice from candied jalapenos
fresh lime wedge

In a large baking dish, coat the fish with olive oil and season with mesquite shake on both sides. Sprinkle with a couple shakes of garlic powder, a pinch of kosher salt and a pinch of chili powder. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for crema. Taste and add more lime to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Heat grill to medium-high. Place fillets on grill and cook 4 minutes. Flip fish and cook additional 6-8 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Remove from grill and squeeze 1 wedge of fresh lime over fish.

While fish is cooking, warm tortillas on griddle until soft and heated through. Wrap in a clean dish towel to keep warm.

To serve - place some of the fish in a tortilla and top with slaw, crema, salsa and a couple candied jalapenos. Squeeze a tad of lime, fold and enjoy!!!

* You can find the salsa & candied jalapenos at HEB
