Ingredients
- 1 pound Red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
- 0.5 cup Pico de gallo
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 4 Lime wedges
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the red snapper fillets.
Step 4
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned red snapper fillets on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and gently break into large pieces using a fork or spatula.
Step 5
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, until pliable and slightly charred.
Step 6
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of cooked red snapper into each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Step 7
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
