In a small bowl, combine paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rinse and pat dry the tilapia fillets, then rub them with olive oil and the spice mix. Set aside to marinate while you prepare other ingredients.
Slice the red cabbage thinly and grate the carrot. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Combine the cabbage, carrot, red onion, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir until smooth and then toss with the cabbage mixture to coat well. Set aside for the flavors to meld.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tilapia fillet for about 3 minutes on each side until flaky and cooked through.
Warm the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds.
Assemble the tacos by placing cooked tilapia on each tortilla, then topping with the slaw mixture. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
Serve the tacos immediately, enjoying them with a squeeze of fresh lime juice on top.
