Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-oz each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 2 Avocados
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 (diced) Tomato
- 0.5 (finely chopped) Red onion
- 1 (seeded and minced) Jalapeño pepper
- 2 cups Shredded cabbage
- 0.25 cup Cotija cheese
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grille pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade generously on both sides of the halibut fillets and let them rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the guacamole.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados until smooth. Stir in sour cream, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, diced tomato, chopped red onion, and jalapeño. Mix well and set aside.
Grill the halibut fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. Once done, remove from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
Warm up the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, until slightly charred but still pliable.
To assemble the tacos, flake the halibut into bite-sized pieces and divide evenly between the warm tortillas.
Top each taco with shredded cabbage, a dollop of the guacamole sauce, and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese.
Serve immediately with a wedge of lime for an extra burst of flavor!
