- 8 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 150 g Shredded cabbage
- 0.5 cup Cilantro (chopped)

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel, then evenly rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the fish.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and flake into bite-sized pieces.
While the fish cooks, prepare the coleslaw by combining shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and sliced red onion in a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, and honey. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until well combined. Set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds per tortilla.
Assemble the tacos by layering the flaked fish, cilantro coleslaw, and optional avocado slices in the tortillas. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and delicious fish tacos!
