Preparation
1
Prep tilapia

  • Before starting, lightly oil the grill. While you prep, preheat the grill to medium (approx. 400°F). Wash and dry all produce. 
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Pat tilapia dry with paper towels. 
  • To a medium bow, add tilapia, Mexican Seasoning, half the garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 

2
Prep and make lime crema

  • Zest, then juice lime.
  • Roughly chop chives.
  • Drain pineapple. 
  • Core, then finely chop jalapeño into 1/4-inch rounds, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
  • To a small bowl, add lime zest, sour cream, 1 tsp (2 tsp) water, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Wrap tortillas in foil. (Make 2 packets with 6 tortillas in each for 4 servings.) 

3
Make slaw and salsa

  • In a large bowl, combine mayo, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime juice and 1/2 (1 tsp) tsp sugar.
  • Add coleslaw cabbage mix, half the chives and remaining garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • To another small bowl, add 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime juice and a pinch of sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until sugar dissolves. 
  • Stir in pineapple, remaining chives and jalapeños.

4
Warm tortillas

  • Bring tortilla packet, tilapia and a clean plate to the grill.
  • Add tortilla packet to one side of the grill. 
  • Grill for 2-3 min, flipping once, until warmed through.
  • Remove tortilla packet from the grill and set aside, still wrapped.

5
Grill tilapia

  • Meanwhile, add tilapia to the other side of the grill. 
  • Grill for 2-3 min per side, flipping tilapia once, until cooked through.**
  • Transfer tilapia to clean plate. Using fork, break tilapia into large flakes.

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide tortillas between plates, then top with coleslaw and tilapia.
  • Dollop lime crema over top.
  • Spoon pineapple-jalapeño salsa over top.

7

If you've opted to get tilapia, skip soaking the skewers and save the skewers for another creation. Pat tilapia dry with paper towels. To a medium bowl, add tilapia, Mexican Seasoning, half the garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 

8

Add tilapia to the other side of the grill. Grill for 2-3 min per side, flipping once, until cooked through.** Transfer tilapia to a clean plate. Using fork, break tilapia into large flakes.
