Grilled Fish and Poblano Lettuce Wraps
Grilled Fish and Poblano Lettuce Wraps are one of my healthier grilling recipes.
The grilled fish and charred poblanos turn regular lettuce wraps into something extraordinary.
I added avocado and spicy mayo to mine, but toppings like salsa and sour cream would be amazing too.
How to Make Grilled Fish and Poblano Lettuce Wraps
I have four tilapia fillets for the fish part of these wraps.
Pat them dry with paper towels and brush with olive oil.
Cut two poblano peppers in half and remove the seeds and stems.
Brush those with olive oil too and season everything with Old Bay.
Preheat your grill to medium high for a few minutes.
Tilapia is a very delicate fish, so it would fall apart if I placed it right on the grill.
I put mine in a grilling basket to keep them safe and sound đŸ˜‰
The poblano peppers can go right on the grill grate.
This will cook 6 to 7 minutes total, flipping them halfway through.
That gorgeous charred skin is free flavor right there, my friends đŸ™‚
YUM!
Set out some lettuce cups and your toppings to assemble these wraps.
I used Boston lettuce, but bibb lettuce would be another good choice.
Let the fish cool slightly and slice the peppers.
Then flake the tilapia into smaller pieces and place them in the lettuce cups along with the sliced poblanos and other toppings of choice.
