Grilled Tilapia and Avocado Tostada

From Despina Avgeris who makes the most delicious food I've ever eaten. When she and Chris moved away my taste buds frowned. This is a tasty, fresh dish that I wish I could eat every day!

4 flour tortillas(10" diameter)
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb tillapia fillets
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 sm red onion,thinly sliced
1 heart romaine lettuce, thinly sliced crosswise
2 med tomatoes, chopped
1/4 c cilantro chopped
4 red radishes, thinly sliced like matchsticks
1 avocado, quartered, skinned, pitted, and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 lime, cut into 8 wedges

1. preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. brush tortillas with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Grill, flipping once or twice, until crisp, about 2 minutes each.
3. brush tilapia on both sides with 1 tablespoon of the oil and springle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Grill flipping once/until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Let rest 4 minutes and pull into chunks with a fork.
4. place each tortilla on a plate. Scatter on onion, lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, and radishes. Lay tilapia pieces on top. Fan sliced avocado quarters over tilapia and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil. Serve with lime wedges.
Makes 4 servings.(and that means 2 for Bob).
