Blackened Tilapia Baja Tacos

    While looking through one of my older issues of Cooking Light I came across a recipe for fish tacos.  My husband has tried to get me to eat fish tacos several times and I've refused because they just haven't looked like something I would eat.  However, after reading through the ingredients, I was sold on the idea of the blackened tilapia.

2 T. chopped fresh cilantro
1 T. lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
½ c. onion, chopped
2 t. paprika
1 t. brown sugar
1 t. oregano
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. ground cumin
1 t. black pepper
¼ . red pepper
4 tilapia fillets
1 T. olive oil
8 flour tortillas
½ avocado, peeled and sliced
Cheese and salsa for topping

2.  In a separate small bowl combine the paprika, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, red pepper, and black pepper.  Stir to combine.

3.  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.  Cover the tilapia fillets with the paprika mixture pressing into the fish to cover.  Add the fish to the pan and cook 3-4 minutes on each side.

4.  Remove from heat, cut into strips, and serve in a tortilla with sour cream mixture, avocado, and toppings.
