From the Test Kitchen

We’re bringing bold, smoky flavor to classic fish tacos by searing our tilapia fillets with a coating of Mexican-style spices before tucking them into warm tortillas alongside crisp radishes and creamy avocado. A crunchy cucumber-cabbage slaw, dressed in creamy chipotle sauce, makes for the perfect side.

This recipe was created in partnership with the wellness experts at WW. To learn more about WW and SmartPoints® visit ww.com

Prepare the ingredients & make the salsa:
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the salsa:

If you prefer to use an oven to warm the tortillas instead of a microwave, preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve and pit the avocado. Using a spoon, remove the avocado from the skin, then medium dice. In a bowl, combine the sliced radishes, diced avocado, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper.

Make the slaw:
2 Make the slaw:

In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage and cucumber and creamy chipotle sauce; season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. 

Cook & flake the fish:
3 Cook & flake the fish:

While the slaw marinates, pat the fish dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board. Using a fork, carefully flake into large pieces. 

Warm the tortillas:
4 Warm the tortillas:

While the fish cooks, if using the microwave, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high 1 minute, or until heated through. If using the oven, wrap the tortillas in a large piece of foil and place directly onto an oven rack; warm 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer to a work surface and carefully unwrap.

Assemble the tacos & serve your dish:
5 Assemble the tacos & serve your dish:

Assemble the tacos using the warmed tortillas, flaked fish, and salsa. Serve the tacos with the slaw on the side. Enjoy!
