2 tablespoons onion, finely diced

1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon lime zest

1 tablespoon clear tequila

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Using a fork or potato masher, mash avocado in a bowl.

Add yogurt, lime juice, lime zest and tequila; mix well.

Add jalapeno, onion, salt/pepper and cilantro; stir until all ingredients are incorporated and smooth.

Adjust seasonings if desired.

Pour finished guacamole into serving bowl; set aside.

Preheat a grill pan to med-high heat.

Drizzle fish on each side with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Grill fish on each side until opaque, about 4 mins.

Remove fish from grill and flake into large chunks with a fork.

Heat tortillas on the grill pan until blisters form.

To assemble tacos, spread a dollop of guacamole onto tortilla, add fish, and top with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes (or whatever toppings you prefer).

Optional: squeeze additional lime juice over the fish.

Enjoy with a Mexican beer or tasty margarita! :)

Note: if you have any leftover guacamole, serve it as a dip with tortilla chips!
