Recipe Variations

• Fish – This recipe will work great with any type of white fish.

• Step 3 – Drizzle oil on the grill and spread it around with a spatula.  

• Step 4 – Place the tilapia filets on one side of the Blackstone Grill.  Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is slightly browned and flakey.

• Step 9 – Then top with the cabbage, avocado, tomatoes, red onions, cheese and lime juice.
