Ingredients

1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound halibut or tilapia fillets
SAUCE:
2 medium ripe avocados, divided
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Dash cayenne pepper
SALSA:
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
4-1/2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1-1/2 teaspoons lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
TACOS:
8 flour tortillas (6 inches)
2 cups shredded cabbage

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, oil and garlic. Add the halibut; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For sauce and salsa, peel and cube avocados. In a small bowl, mash 1/4 cup avocado. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients. Place remaining avocados in a small bowl; stir in the remaining salsa ingredients. Refrigerate sauce and salsa until serving.
Drain fish and discard marinade. Broil halibut 4-6 in. from the heat for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Place fish on the center of each tortilla. Top each with 1/4 cup cabbage, about 1 tablespoon sauce and 1/4 cup salsa.
