Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a grill pan over medium-high. Remove tilapia from marinade. Cook 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork (145 degrees), turning once. Grill tortillas in a clean grill pan for 30 seconds or until slightly charred. Serve fish on tortillas with slaw and avocado. Garnish with cilantro and jalapeno slices, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
