Preparation
Mise en place
- Peel, quarter and slice the chayote.
- Cut off the top and bottom of the orange; cut away the peel and white pith. Cut between the membranes to separate the segments.
- In a large bowl, squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes and add the segments.
Cook the tilapia
- Pat the tilapia dry; season with ¾ of the spices and S&P.
- In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the tilapia* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate and flake into large pieces.
Make the slaw
- Meanwhile, to the bowl of orange segments, add the cabbage, chayote, vinegar, a drizzle of oil and S&P; toss well.
Make the smoky mayo
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, remaining spices and S&P.
Warm the tortillas & serve
- Wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened paper towel.
- On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm.
- Divide the tortillas between your plates.
- Spread with the smoky mayo.
- Top with the slaw and tilapia. Bon appétit!
