![Step 1](step-1.jpg)
- Prep the ingredients: Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the @shallot{2%unit}. Pick the leaves from the @cilantro{½%oz}, then roughly chop the stems, keeping both separate.

![Step 2](step-2.jpg)
- Segment the grapefruit: Using a #paring knife{}, remove and discard the @grapefruit{2%unit} peel and pith, cutting carefully around the flesh. Working over a #large bowl{}, carefully slice between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments. Squeeze the inner core of the fruit to collect any remaining juice. Set the segments aside, leaving the juice in the bowl.

- Make the cabbage slaw: Toss the @shredded red cabbage{8%oz} into the bowl along with the cilantro stems, shallot, half the grapefruit segments, and a drizzle of @olive oil{2%tbsp}. Season with @salt{} and @pepper{}.

- Wrap the @corn tortillas{12%unit} in #aluminum foil{} and place them in the oven to warm. Halve, pit, and peel the @avocado{2%unit}, then thinly slice. Toss half of the avocado slices into the cabbage slaw.

![Step 5](step-5.jpg)
- Cook the tilapia: Heat a large drizzle of oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Pat dry the @tilapia{24%oz} with a #paper towel{}. Slice it into 1-inch wide sticks. Season liberally with salt, pepper, and @cumin{2%tsp}. Add the tilapia to the pan and cook for ~{2-3%minutes} per side, until golden brown and opaque in the center.

- Assemble the tacos: Place a piece of tilapia and some cabbage slaw in each tortilla. Top with a piece of avocado, a grapefruit segment, and some cilantro leaves. Serve the extra cabbage slaw on the side. Enjoy!
