#23 Grilled Fish Tacos with Fresh Corn Salsa

Every family has traditions, some are less common than others. For example, my family has tacos every Christmas Eve and to be honest prefers tacos at most every meal. Normally we have beef tacos, so I decided to switch things up a little and make some grilled fish tacos. Too bad my dad was working and missed this winner of a meal. I will definitely be doing this recipe again!

Grilled Fish Tacos with Fresh Corn Salsa

Ingredients:
2 cups corn (I used fresh corn off fresh corn on the cob)
1/2 cup red diced onion
1 diced tomato
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
6 fillets tilapia
2 tablespoons olive oil
corn/flour tortillas warmed on the grill
shredded cheese if you want to make quesadillas on the grill

Directions:
1. Preheat grill for high heat
2. In a medium bowl, mix together corn, red onion, red pepper and cilantro. Stir in lime juice and zest.
3. In a small bowl, combine cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and salt. Brush each fillet with olive oil, and sprinkle with spices.
4. Arrange fillets on grill grate, and cook for 3 minutes per side. Make quesadillas as you go and/or warm the tortillas as you grill the fish.
