Chipotle Lime Soft Tacos

Ingredients:

4 whole wheat tortillas (soft taco sized)
2 T olive oil
1/2 t ground cumin
1/4 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
1 pound tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

Cream Sauce:
1 cup light sour cream
1 chipotle chili (seeded and minced) OR chipotle seasoning to taste
1/4 t salt
1/4 t garlic powder

1. Mix cream sauce ingredients together and cover, refrigerate until needed.
2. In a skillet set at medium-high heat, add the seven ingredients from the olive oil through the cilantro. Saute those ingredients for 2 minutes. 
3. After the 2 minutes, add the tilapia and cover and cook for 3 minutes or until fish is fully cooked (flaky and opaque). You can flip the fish once halfway through to ensure even seasoning and cooking! Then add in lime juice and let cook for 1 additional minute. 
4. Heat the tortillas according to the package instructions. Lay each of the warmed tortillas on a cutting board and place one-quarter of both the cabbage and fish on the center of each tortilla. Then top each with equal amounts of the Chipotle Cream Sauce.  
5. Fold the tortillas over to form tacos and serve.
