Ingredients
U.S.MetricConversion chart
  • 1 lemon
  • 2.5 teaspoon(s) vegetable oil
  • Salt
  • 2 ear(s) corn, husked
  • 1 avocado, cut in half and pitted
  • 3 clove(s) garlic, crushed with press
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) cayenne (ground red pepper)
  • 1 pound(s) skinless tilapia fillets
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 large ripe tomato, finely chopped
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Directions
  1. Prepare outdoor grill for grilling on medium-high. From lemon, grate 2 teaspoons peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice.
  2. On plate, rub 1/2 teaspoon oil and pinch salt all over corn and cut sides of avocado. On another plate, combine garlic, oregano, cayenne, lemon peel, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Place fish on plate and rub mixture all over to coat.
  3. Place fish, corn, and avocado, cut sides down, on hot grill grate. Cook fish 3 to 4 minutes or until opaque throughout, turning over once; cook vegetables 5 minutes or until charred, turning occasionally.
  4. Transfer fish, corn, and avocado to cutting board. Let cool while warming tortillas: Place tortillas on grill in single layer and cook 1 minute, turning once. Stack on large sheet of foil and wrap tightly.
  5. Cut kernels from corn cobs. Peel and finely chop avocado. Break fish into large chunks. In large bowl, mix together tomato, corn, avocado, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Divide fish and tomato mixture among tortillas and serve with cilantro and lime wedges.

Tips & Techniques
Flounder, catfish, or any mild white fish would be a good substitute for the tilapia. Grill fish fillets only 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
