Ingredients
4 servings
- •1 lbs Tilapia, Fillet
- •salt and pepper
- •1 tbsp Olive oil
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •8 Flour Tortillas(360g)
- •2 cup Cabbage, Green
- •1 cup Tomato, Cherry
- •1 cup Olives, Kalamata, Canned, Pitted
- •1 Cucumber(201g)
- •0.5 cup Cheese, Feta, Crumbled

Instructions
- 1Pat 1 pound of firm white fish dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 2Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1–2 minutes.
- 3Add the fish and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to a plate and use two forks to break it into bite-sized pieces.
- 4Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15–20 seconds, until pliable.
- 5While the tortillas warm, prep the toppings: shred 2 cups cabbage, thinly slice 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halve 1 cup kalamata olives, and dice the cucumber.
- 6To assemble, layer cabbage, flaked fish, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and cucumber on each tortilla. Top with crumbled feta cheese and a drizzle of tzatziki sauce.
- 7Divide the assembled tacos evenly into 4 meal-prep containers. Pack any remaining toppings — olives, feta, and tzatziki — in separate small containers to keep the tortillas from going soggy during storage.
