• Preheat grill to high heat.
• Arrange onion slices and bell peppers on a grill rack coated with cooking spray.
• Grill onions 12 minutes turning after 6 minutes, Grill bell peppers 12 minutes turning occasionally.
• Remove from grill, and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Slice onion rings in half, and thinly slice bell peppers, discarding seeds, and stems.
• Combine onion, bell pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle fish evenly with remaining salt, and pepper.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with cooking spray.
• Add fish to pan, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork, or until desired degree of doneness.

• Divide fish, onion mixture, and jalapeno slices evenly among tortillas.
• Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Put the garlic, cilantro, lime zest, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small food processor bowl and pulse until combined, approximately 20 seconds. With the processor running, add the tequila. Put the tilapia fillets into a 1 gallon resealable bag, add the garlic mixture and move around to coat each fillet. Set aside at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F.
• Brush the griddle with the olive oil. Cook the fillets until just cooked through and opaque about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cut into strips and serve in warm tortillas with crema, shredded red cabbage and lime wedges.
• Combine 9 ounces flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times.
• Add the lard to the flour mixture in 4 to 5 chunks and pulse 10 to 15 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With the processor running, add the water in a steady stream just until a ball of dough begins to form, approximately 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of flour on a clean surface. Remove the dough from the bowl of the processor and knead until well incorporated and less sticky. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Evenly divide the dough into 8 pieces and form them into round balls. Roll each ball into 7-inch rounds with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Keep all of the dough balls covered with a tea towel.
• Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F.
• Put the tortillas, 2 to 3 at a time, onto the griddle and cook until light golden, about 4 minutes per side. Can be held for up to 2 hours, at room temperature, wrapped in a barely damp tea towel. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Microwave for 1 minute in the damp tea towel to reheat.
• Put the heavy cream in a 16-ounce microwave-safe glass jar. Microwave on high until the cream is just under 100 degrees F, about 30 to 40 seconds. Add the buttermilk, close the jar, and store in a warm place for 24 hours. The cream will have thickened to the consistency of thin yogurt.
• Add the chipotle chile and salt and process with an immersion blender, in the jar, until smooth, approximately 20 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Cut the fillet in 1/2 lengthwise. Lightly season the fish with the cumin, cayenne, paprika, and salt. Coat each piece in olive oil and grill, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. To plate, begin by covering a dinner plate with a layer of Cashew Yogurt Sauce. Place the pieces of grilled tilapia in the center, overlapping one another. Top the fish with the Tilapia Salad and place the tangerine segments around the plate.
• Using a sharp pairing knife, remove the skin of the tangerine. Slice the tangerine into rings and remove any seeds. Mix the watercress, tangerine zest, and beets with the cashews. Serve with the grilled tilapia and Cashew Yogurt Sauce.
• Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Taste for seasoning.

Steps:

• For the cabbage: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt and mix together well. Add the cabbage and stir to coat everything evenly. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes. Fold in the cilantro and set aside until ready to use.
• For the fish marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tequila, cumin, garlic, lime juice and some salt and pepper. Portion the fish into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Set aside to marinate for 4 to 5 minutes.
• To cook the fish: Heat a flat top grill to high and coat with a little oil. Skewer 4 to 5 pieces of fish on each skewer. Place the skewers on the grill and cook until the fish is white and cooked through, about 1 minute on each side and about 4 minutes total. Remove the skewers and allow to rest.
• Warm the tortillas in batches on the grill for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the tortillas to a towel-lined foil pouch and cover loosely to keep warm.
• To build the tacos, drizzle a little Cilantro Lime Crema on a tortilla. Top with some strained red cabbage mixture and then place a skewer of fish on top. Slide out the skewer so the fish stays on the taco, and then finish with more lime crema. Garnish with some crumbled Cotija and hot sauce and serve with a wedge of lime on the side. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, milk, cilantro, garlic, cumin and lime juice and chill for 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Directions for slaw:
• Combine apple cider vinegar, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix until smooth and creamy. Add cabbage and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Directions for tacos:
• Combine ingredients for the basting sauce into bowl and mix. Set aside. Oil the grill rack and Preheat grill to medium high. Grill Mahi filets until they are cooked through approximately 3 minutes per side. Continuously baste Mahi- Mahi, turning fish over only once.
• While Mahi is on the grill, heat tortillas until soft in the microwave or in the oven. Option 1: In the Microwave, wrap stacks of up to 12 tortillas in barely damp paper towels; microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds. Wrap tortillas in a clean towel to keep warm. Option 2: In the Oven, wrap stacks of 6 tortillas in foil; place in a 375 degrees F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Wrap tortillas in a clean towel to keep warm.
• When Fish is white and flakey, remove from heat. Carefully cut fish into large chunks. Place fish into tortillas and build your taco, starting with fish, and slaw and toppings of your choice.
• Combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix diced tomatoes, onions and cilantro in a large bowl. Add the lime juice and salt stir.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• For the marinade: Pulse the lime juice, olive oil, marjoram, cilantro, red pepper flakes, garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mini-food processor or blender until smooth. Cut each tilapia fillet in half through the seam, separating the thicker half from the thinner. Place the tilapia and shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Toss to coat, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For the slaw: Meanwhile, toss the cabbage with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften it a bit. Whisk the sour cream, jalapenos and pickling liquid in another large bowl. Toss in the seasoned shredded cabbage and stir to coat. Season with black pepper, cover and set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Transfer the tilapia and shrimp to a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the fillets with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• For the taco bar: Wrap the tortillas in foil and set to the side on the heated grill while you grill the tilapia and shrimp.
• Grill the tilapia starting with the thicker pieces, 4 minutes for the thicker fillets, 3 minutes for the thinner ones. Use a spatula to loosen the fish and gently flip. Grill until just cooked through, another 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the shrimp until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway. Serve with the tortillas, slaw, scallions, radishes and salsa.

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, oil, 3 tablespoons lime juice, orange juice, garlic, and oregano in medium bowl. Sprinkle fish with coarse salt and pepper. Spread half of onion mixture over bottom of 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange fish atop onion mixture. Spoon remaining onion mixture over fish. Cover and chill 30 minutes. Turn fish; cover and chill 30 minutes longer. Whisk mayonnaise, milk, and remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice in small bowl.
• Brush grill grate with oil; prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill fish with some marinade still clinging until just opaque in center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Grill tortillas until slightly charred, about 10 seconds per side.
• Coarsely chop fish; place on platter. Serve with lime mayonnaise, tortillas, remaining 1 cup chopped onion, remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, avocados, cabbage, Salsa Verde, and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, lemon pepper, cumin, paprika, dried mustard, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Brush each tilapia fillet with mixture using a pastry brush. Flip; brush the other side. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Spray a large piece of foil with cooking spray and place on the grill. Transfer tilapia onto the foil.
• Cook fillets on the preheated grill until they're easily flaked with a fork, about 5 minutes per side. Serve.

Steps:

• To make the Adobo Sauce, wisk together Sour Cream, Adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chiles, Seafood seasoning, Chili Powder, Cumin, Lime Juice, and Lime Zest. And refrigerator until ready to use.
• Then wisk together Canolia Oil, Ancho Chile Powder, chopped Cilantro, chopped Jalapeno and the juice of 1 Lime. Then marinade the fish in this mixture for at least 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile (while your fish is marinadeing), you can chop up the rest of your taco toppings.
• To grill the fish, I used a non-stick spray on aluminum foil or you can use another type of grill top if you have one (to prevent the fish from falling into the grill). You want to grill the fish for 4 minutes on one side, then turn it over and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand for about 5 minutes.
• The corn tortillas I sprayed lightly with oil and placed on the grill for about 30 seconds and they come out perfect.
• Fill your tortillas with the grilled fish, top with shredded green cabbage, grilled corn, avocado, cilantro, onion, tomatoes, etc. and then top with the Adobo sauce. Eat and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat grill.

• Place on hot grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes over a medium high heat. Turn once during grilling.
• Serve with Aioli.
• Prepare aioli by combining all ingredients in a bowl, mixing and then refrigerate until you are ready for use.
• I served it with boiled new potatoes and green beans to dip in the Aioli.
• I use Low fat mayonnaise.
• Use seasoning of your choice.

Steps:

Cook for 5 minutes, turn, and continue cooking until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 more minutes. Break fillets apart with a spatula, remove from the heat, and allow to cool. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel.
• While fish is cooling, mash avocado in a small bowl for guacamole. Mix in sour cream and season with garlic powder and salt.
• Place 1 tortilla in the cleaned skillet and cook over low heat until warm, about 1 minute. Remove tortilla and set on a plate with the uncooked side facing up. Cover one half of the tortilla with 2 lettuce leaves and salsa. Spread guacamole on the other half, then add 1/4 of the fish. Fold halves together. Repeat to make the remaining tacos.
