Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Tilapia, about 3 medium filets

Instructions

  • Heat your grill to 350 degrees on medium heat. Put foil on half of the grill and drizzle with canola oil. Place the fish filets on the foil. Add the green onions, red peppers, salt and pepper. Close the lid and grill fish for about 6 minutes.

  • Lightly spray the tortillas with cooking spray and place them on the open side of the grill. Grill the tortillas just until they are slightly brown and warmed through. Do not grill too long, as they will be too crispy to fold.
  • When the fish is cooked through, add a generous amount of sweet and sour sauce over the fish. Cook the fish and vegetables for one more minute. Remove the fish, vegetables, and tortillas from the grill.
  • Place a grilled tortilla on a large plate, top it with 1/2 of a grilled fish filet. Add some shredded cabbage and a dash or two of soy sauce. Sprinkle crispy rice noodles on top. Squeeze a bit of lime juice over the taco. Repeat for the rest of the tortillas. This recipe makes 4 servings.
