Ingredients

• 1 lb White fish (such as cod or tilapia)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 8 Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cabbage
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Juice of fresh lime
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 Jalapeño (seeded and finely diced)
• 1 Avocado (optional, for topping)
• 0.5 cup Pico de gallo (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the fish dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.

Step 4

Drizzle the fish with olive oil and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or grill pan.

Step 5

Bake or grill the fish for 8-10 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly, then break it into bite-size pieces.

Step 6

For the lime cilantro crema, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, and diced jalapeño in a small bowl. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, in the oven, or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side until pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by placing shredded cabbage onto each tortilla, followed by pieces of fish, a drizzle of lime cilantro crema, and optional toppings like sliced avocado or pico de gallo.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of citrus.
