- Place fish on a a baking sheet and spray or rub tilapia filets with olive oil and lightly coat with blackening spice.

Prepare Slaw And Sides
- While fish is broiling, make the slaw. De-seed and dice poblano pepper, and dice ½ of the onion. Toss with cabbage, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt and set aside.
- Combine sour cream sauce, lime juice and spice blend in a separate bowl and mix well. Set aside along with remaining ½ sliced onion and the avocado.
- Assemble tacos by layering tortillas, with cabbage slaw, broiled fish, avocado, onion and spicy crema.
Notes
- Note: I’ve used generic blackened seasoning in the recipe, but included a simple homemade blackened seasoning blend in the page above the recipe card in case you’d rather do that.
