Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 whole Lime, juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 whole Carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Red bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 cup Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Chipotle powder
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Avocado, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together to form a marinade.
Brush the fish fillets with the marinade and set aside for 10 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the slaw by combining cabbage, carrot, green onions, cilantro, and red bell pepper in a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mix the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise and chipotle powder together to make the chipotle mayonnaise.
Add half of the chipotle mayo to the slaw and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated. Reserve the other half for serving.
Place the marinated fish on the preheated grill. Grill each fillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of grilled fish on each lettuce leaf.
Top with a generous helping of slaw and a few slices of avocado.
Drizzle with the remaining chipotle mayo if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 fish tacos!
