Directions
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Stir cumin, chipotle powder, paprika, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of fish.
Add oil to the hot skillet; swirl to coat. Place the fish in the pan in an even layer; cook, flipping once, until it flakes easily with a fork and is completely opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Meanwhile, combine coleslaw mix and radishes in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons lime juice and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss to coat.
Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, cilantro, chile and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
Flake the fish into bite-size chunks; divide among 8 tortillas. Top with the coleslaw mixture and avocado; drizzle evenly with the sauce. Serve immediately.

Phosphorus is also a mineral and works with calcium to support healthy, strong bones and teeth. Tilapia is also a good source of potassium, which offers support to bones, nerves and muscles.
Coleslaw mix is typically shredded green cabbage and carrots. Some mixes also include shredded red cabbage.Cabbage is loaded with nutrientsand antioxidants, including vitamin C. Eating cabbage has been linked to reduced inflammation and a lowered risk of cancer.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
