Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds tilapia fillets
- 2-3 tablespoons blackened seasoning
- 2 cups green cabbage shredded
- 2 cups purple cabbage shredded
- 2 lime 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 corn tortillas warmed
- cilantro lime sauce

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F and place a baking sheet in the oven.
- Sprinkle both sides of the tilapia with the seasoning.
- Using an oven mitt, remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Generously coat the hot baking sheet with cooking spray and place the seasoned fish fillets on it. Spray the tops of the fillets and carefully return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish until it's cooked through and flakes easily.
- While the fish is in the oven, toss the cabbage with the juice of 1 lime and salt in a medium bowl.
- Make the cilantro-lime dressing in your blender and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- To assemble the tacos, place some slaw on each tortilla, top with chunks of blackened fish, and add a generous drizzle of cilantro-lime dressing. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
