Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 sliced avocado
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 4 lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill pan over medium heat if grilling the fish.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the fish fillets evenly with olive oil and sprinkle the spice blend over both sides of the fish.
Place the fish in a lightly greased baking dish or directly onto the preheated grill pan. Bake or grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven for 5 minutes.
Prepare the lime crema by mixing the sour cream, lime zest, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
When the fish is done, flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork.
Assemble the tortillas: Layer each tortilla with shredded lettuce, flaked fish, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of lime crema.
Garnish the tortillas with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
