Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves (chopped)
- 2 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes.
While the fish marinates, warm the corn tortillas using a skillet or directly over the flame on a gas stove for about 30 seconds per side. Wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Grill or cook the marinated fish on the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and use a fork to break the fish into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the tacos by placing some shredded red cabbage and diced tomatoes on each tortilla. Add pieces of cooked fish, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness before eating.
