Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cabbage
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 2 pieces Lime (for juice and garnish)
- 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced
- to taste Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the toppings. Shred the cabbage, slice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and cut one lime into wedges for serving. Juice the second lime and mix it with the sour cream to create a lime crema.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Once the fish is cooked, use a fork to break it into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the tacos: place a layer of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, top with pieces of fish, and drizzle with the lime crema. Add slices of avocado, a sprinkle of cilantro, and hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
