Fish Tacos

One day I ordered these at a restaurant, and wondered why, but now I order them whenever I see them on the menu. I LOVE them. Try these, it's a favorite I've found, and almost would rather make and eat than go out!!!!!!

4 C very thinly sliced green cabbage
1 C chopped plum tomatoes
1/3 C green onion sliced
1/4 C cilantro chopped
2 T lime juice (fresh is best)
5 T olive oil
1/2 t salt
1 lb. Tilapia fillets or white fish of your choice
1 t chili powder
8 corn tortillas

Combine cabbage, tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro in a large bowl. Add lime juice, 3 tsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt, toss well to combine. Heat remaining 2 tsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with chili powder and remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Add fish to pan, cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily. Remove from heat and cut fish into bite size pieces. Warm tortillas. Spoon about 1/4 c cabbage mixture down the center of each tortilla. Divide fish evenly among tortillas; fold in half. Serve tacos with remaining cabbage mixture. Makes about 4 servings. (2 tacos each)

I spice it up a little more with lime juice, and sometimes a yogurt cilantro sauce!! I serve with black beans and rice to add flavor.
