Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)

  • 8 small corn tortillas

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage

  • 1/2 cup diced red onion

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

  • 1 lime (cut into wedges)

  • 1 avocado (sliced)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture over the fish fillets.

  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until flaky and cooked through.

  3. While the fish cooks, prepare the cabbage slaw by combining shredded cabbage, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl.

  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.

  5. Once the fish is done, assemble the tacos by placing a fillet on each tortilla, then topping with the cabbage slaw, avocado slices, and a drizzle of sour cream or yogurt if desired.

  6. Squeeze lime wedges over the tacos for added freshness. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Feel free to use any firm white fish for this recipe, such as cod, tilapia, or haddock.

  • For extra spice, add a dash of hot sauce or a few slices of jalapeño to the tacos.

  • If you prefer a different slaw, you can add carrots or red bell peppers for extra crunch and color.
