Fish Tacos with Pineapple Salsa & Avocado Yogurt
Makes 6 Tacos

For the Fish:
4 Tilapia Fillets (or 1 lb cod, tuna, halibut, swordfish)
¼ t Cumin
¼ t Cayenne Pepper
1 T Chili Powder
2 T Smoked Paprika
1t Sea Salt
1T Oil

For the Avocado Yogurt:
1 Ripe Avocado
1 C Plain Greek Yogurt
1 t Lemon or Lime Juice
Pinch of Salt
 
6 Corn Tortillas
1 ½ C Pineapple Salsa
 
Mix the spices for the tilapia in a bowl and use all of it to season the fish.  Heat up a sauté pan with the oil. Sauté the fish, flipping it once during the process.

 
To make the avocado yogurt, slice the avocado and mash it up in a bowl.  Add the remaining ingredients until smooth.

Quickly heat the tortillas in a sauté pan or over a low flame to make them more pliable.
 




To assemble, put the tortillas down flat on a plate. The tilapia should flake well, so tear it apart and divide the pieces amongst the tacos.  Spoon out the yogurt onto the fish.  Top it off with the salsa and serve.
