Preheat your grill or stovetop grille pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade generously on both sides of the halibut fillets and let them rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the guacamole.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados until smooth. Stir in sour cream, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, diced tomato, chopped red onion, and jalapeño. Mix well and set aside.
Grill the halibut fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. Once done, remove from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
Warm up the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, until slightly charred but still pliable.
To assemble the tacos, flake the halibut into bite-sized pieces and divide evenly between the warm tortillas.
Top each taco with shredded cabbage, a dollop of the guacamole sauce, and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese.
Serve immediately with a wedge of lime for an extra burst of flavor!
