Grilled Fish Tacos

Makes 4 servings

These Grilled Fish Tacos are packed with healthy nutrients, acting as a tasty alternative to those red-meat-crammed tacos you typically see. They offer many health benefits: the tomatoes protect against colon cancer, and the pineapples are full of an enzyme that reduces fatigue during cardiovascular exercise! Plus, tilapia is rich in omega-3 fats, which helps build your immune system, creating a stronger defense against germs.

INGREDIENTS

¼ small pineapple, cut into ¼-inch pieces
½ small red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
½ tsp. salt, divided
½ tsp. pepper, divided
4 medium tomatoes
1¼ lb. skinless white fish fillets (such as tilapia)
¾ cup fresh cilantro leaves
8 corn tortillas, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To create salsa, combine the pineapple, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, ¼ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper in a bowl.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Place the tomatoes on the grill and cook until hot and starting to soften, 2–3 minutes on each side, then set aside. Season the fish fillets with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; then grill, turning once, until lightly charred and opaque throughout, 2–4 minutes per side, depending on the fish.
3. Cut the tomatoes into 2-inch pieces, then fold them into the pineapple mixture along with the cilantro. To serve, fill the tortillas with fish and garnish with the salsa.
