    Things To Grab

    • Paper towels
    • Resealable plastic bag
    • Whisk
    • 2 small bowls
    • Spoon
    • Medium bowl
    • Covered storage container
    • Large nonstick skillet
    • Instant-read thermometer
    • Fork
    • Metal or silicone spatula

    Directions

    1. Pat tilapia dry with paper towels and place in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 Tbsp. taco seasoning and 3 Tbsp. lime juice in a small bowl; pour over tilapia. Seal bag; gently turn to coat. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, place yogurt, remaining 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning and remaining 1 Tbsp. lime juice in a small bowl; stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate.

    3. Prepare Cowboy Avocado Salsa according to recipe. Cover and refrigerate.

    4. Heat remaining ¼ cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, remove tilapia from marinade; discard marinade. Cook fish for 5 to 7 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees and fish easily flakes with a fork. Break tilapia fillets into large pieces.

    5. Fold tortillas into quarters to form a pocket. Fill the pocket of each tortilla with tilapia pieces, yogurt sauce, Cowboy Avocado Salsa and cheese. Serve with lime wedges. Store any remaining salsa in a covered container in refrigerator up to 3 days.
