Fish Tacos

Here's how I made it for 5 people with no grill:

FISH:
6 Tilapia filets, cut in half
Lawry's Mexican Chile & Lime Marinade

Marinate filets for 30 min or more
Bake at 450F 5-6 min; flip; bake another 5-6 min

COLE SLAW:
One bag of shredded cabbage
4 tsp lime juice
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients (it's fun to do this with your hands - clean of course!)

TORTILLAS:
12 flour tortillas (or a combo of flour and corn tortillas)

Throw the tortillas directly on oven rack at 450F for 3-5 min - careful the ones on the bottom rack go fast!  Tortillas should be hot and a little crispy, but not too much to bend for tacos.

GARNISH:
Chopped cilantro
Diced fresh tomato

Set out all ingredients as a buffet for assembling the tacos.  Sides: Black beans (also a good topping), grilled corn, fresh fruit.

This is a great, light meal for warm weather.  Thanks to Laura and Publix for this recipe!
