Fish

4 pieces tilapia fillets

2 tbs blackening spice blend

1 medium tomato

1 small purple onion

1 large Avocado

Chipotle Ranch

Method

Prepare the Fish

Season the Tilapia

Rub the tilapia fillets with olive oil and then coat them evenly with the blackening spice blend.

Cook the Fish

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned tilapia fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest.

Prepare the Tacos

Chop the Vegetables

Finely chop the romaine lettuce, dice the tomato, thinly slice the purple onion, and slice the avocado.

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate pan or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas briefly until they are pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

Make the Chipotle Ranch

Mix the Dressing

In a small bowl, combine ranch dressing with chipotle powder. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Assemble and Serve

Assemble the Tacos

On each warm tortilla, layer blackened tilapia, chopped romaine, diced tomato, slices of purple onion, and avocado. Drizzle with chipotle ranch.

Serve
