Yum
Tacos, Tacos, Tacos!
It doesn't have to be "Tuesday" to eat tacos. In fact it can be any old day of the week and I'll eat a tacos without hesitation. But, when summer comes I gravitate outside and grill my tacos. Yum! Although these Slow Cooker Beef Tacos may be an exception.
EASY GRILLED CHILI LIME FISH OR CHICKEN TACOS ARE ON THE MENU
Grilled Chili Lime Fish or Chicken Tacos are versatile and simple, plus they satisfy that Mexican food graving we all get from time to time. Why two types of protein? Well, since MGG loves fish and me, no so much, I bought a beautiful piece of Tilapia for him, and a got a nice chicken breast for me. Who says you can't make different types of tacos in one sitting? Not I. This way we use all the same spices and ingredients and just adjust the protein to our liking. Bingo, we're both winners with this dish!
The fish comes out flaky and tender with the perfect amount of spice. The chicken turns out moist and flavorful as well, with hints of chili powder and citrusy lime bursting in your mouth on the first bite. Top your tacos with a little crunch from the cabbage, and some buttery soft avocado and you'll be having a party before you know it. (above MGG added diced tomatoes and a radish to his for extra flavor) They taste that good! Oh, and don't forget to squeeze some lime on there for good measure. It really takes your dish over the top.
What's better than fresh, healthy clean food to eat that's simple to prepare. Remember, tacos are great for a any weeknight, weekend, or party. There the perfect finger food that everyone enjoys!

Chicken Taco
What's better than fresh, healthy clean food to eat that's simple to prepare. Remember, tacos are great for a any weeknight, weekend, or party. There the perfect finger food that everyone enjoys!
Grilled Chili Lime Fish or Chicken Tacos
1 Tilapia filet
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 2 thin cutlets
2 Tbls Fiesta Lime salt free seasoning blend (Mrs. Dash)
6 corn tortillas
1 large hass avocado, sliced
1/4 c Monterey jack or queso fresco cheese
2-3 Tbls cilantro, chopped
1/4 small red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
Lime wedges for serving
Sprinkle both chicken and fish with the seasoning blend on both sides. Pressing down to adhere.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill grates liberally with oil. If you are using both chicken and fish start grilling the chicken first. Grill about 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip over and cook about 3-4. Once you flip the chicken ad the fish to the grill and cook about 3 minutes per side or until opaque and flaky. (Grilling time may need to be adjusted based upon the grill temperature or the thickness of your meat.)
Remove fish and chicken and place on a platter, covered with foil to keep warm. Add the corn tortillas to the grill and cook about 30-60 seconds per side until they have a slight char on them. Remove to the platter.
Cut chicken and fish into small strips or bite sized pieces. Serve in the warm tortillas and top with red cabbage, avocado, cilantro, and cheese. Other toppings such as tomatoes or radishes work well with this dish.
