Flame Grilled Fish and Slaw "Tacos"

Fish Tacos are one on my favorite things on earth! Im from California so I know good Mexican food and this recipe although simple is absolutely delish and very affordable in the following picture is all of the ingredients I used:

This will make enough for a family of four and you will have a few things left over. I shopped at Fred Meyer and my bill looked like this. Lime $.25, Tilapia Fillets 12 oz $4.5o, Carrot $.15, Savoy cabbage $2.30 and Salsa Verde $1.29. That's a grand total of $8.49. WOW feeding a family of four for just over $2.00 a person!

Step 1: Peel and cut the red onion into 1/4 inch thick sliced and slap em on the grill for 5 minutes for the first side flip and grill an additional 3 minutes.

They should look like this when coming off the grill


Step 2: Season the Tilapia fillets with salt and pepper and grill for 6 minutes. No need to flip they will be done if you cook them with the lid on and no peeking!

Step 3: Saving 4 of the outer leaves of the savoy cabbage for your shell, thinly slice 3 cups of cabbage into a bowl, using a vegetable peeler shred the carrot and put in with the cabbage. Roughly chop the red onion and add to the cabbage mixture. Squeeze the lime over the slaw and mix. Flake the grilled fish into the slaw and toss. Place 1/4 of the mixture into a cabbage leaf and top with a little salsa verde and serve.
