📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

2. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Rub this mixture over both sides of the fish fillets.

3. Drizzle olive oil over the fish fillets to lightly coat them.

5. Remove the fish from the grill and set aside.

6. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, red onion, and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture and toss to combine.

7. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining half of the lime and stir to combine.

8. Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or in the oven until they are pliable.

9. To assemble, flake the fish into large pieces and place them onto the warm tortillas.

10. Top each taco with the cabbage slaw, and drizzle with the sour cream sauce.
