Instructions

In a large bowl, combine cabbage, tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups cilantro, jalapeno pepper, honey, and 3/4 of the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix yogurt and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Add the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, lime juice, dill, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Season with salt. If the sauce is too tart, add more mayonnaise to taste.
In a bowl, combine oregano, sumac, cumin, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the tilapia fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until blackened and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 30 to 60 seconds on each side, until warmed through.
Place some blackened tilapia in each tortilla and top with cabbage salsa. Fold the tortilla in half and return it to the hot skillet to crisp lightly on each side. Serve the tacos immediately with yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
