- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix
- 4 teaspoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded cabbage

- 1/3 cup sour cream

Preparation
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 2 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Fold all four sides up on each sheet and pinch corners to form 2 foil trays. Spray with cooking spray.
- Place fillets on foil trays, and brush each side with oil. Sprinkle taco seasoning mix on all sides until evenly coated.
- In medium bowl, mix lime juice, honey and salt. Add cabbage, bell pepper and cilantro; stir to coat. Set aside.
- Using large spatula, carefully place foil trays with fish on grill over medium heat (350°F to 400°F). Cover grill; cook 12 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Using large spatula, transfer foil tray with fish to sheet pan. Turn grill to low (250°F to 300°F).
- Place wrapped shells on low grill; heat 6 minutes, carefully turning once halfway through.
- Using fork, break fish into chunks, and divide among warm shells. Top fish with slaw, sour cream, tomato, green onions and desired fresh toppings.
