I like to serve fish tacos with quinoa and black beans for a complete and satisfying meal. If you’ve got them, add colorful summer toppings like bright peppers, green onions or purple carrots. —Camille Parker, Chicago, Illinois

1 medium ear sweet corn, husk removed
1 poblano pepper, halved and seeds removed
4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)

Lightly oil the grill rack. Grill corn and pepper, covered, over medium heat until tender, 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. Cool slightly.
Meanwhile, sprinkle fish with salt. Grill fish and squash, covered, over medium heat until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork and squash is tender, 7-9 minutes, turning once.
Cut corn from cob and place in a bowl. Chop pepper and squash; add to corn. Stir in tomato, onion, cilantro, lime zest and lime juice. Serve fish in taco shells; top with corn mixture and avocado slices.
