Blackened tilapia fish tacos with zesty red cabbage slaw and homemade guacamole.

Ingredients:

0.5 small head red cabbage, shredded
0.25 red onion, grated
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
0.5 cup sour cream
1 lime, juiced, divided
1 chipotle chili pepper
0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 avocados
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
0.25 onion, minced
0.5 teaspoon sriracha sauce, or to taste
1.5 teaspoons brown sugar
1.5 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
0.75 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.25 teaspoon ground red chile pepper
4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon canola oil

Instructions:

Combine cabbage, red onion, and cilantro in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, half of the lime juice, honey, chipotle pepper, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
In a bowl, mix ripe avocados, diced jalapeno pepper, minced onion, and a touch of sriracha sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper, then mash everything together to create flavorful guacamole.
Mix together the leftover lime juice, brown sugar, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, cumin, and ground red chile in a separate bowl. Evenly sprinkle the mixture over the tilapia fillets.
In a large cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook tilapia until easily flaked with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Top with slaw and guacamole before serving.
