Ingredients

• 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lime (juiced, divided use)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 cup red cabbage (thinly sliced)
• 1 carrot (grated)
• 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, juice of half a lime, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then brush the marinade generously over both sides of the fish.

Step 4

Place the fish on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or grill pan) and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is cooking, prepare the chipotle cream by blending Greek yogurt, chopped chipotle pepper, honey, and juice from the other half of the lime in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by flaking the cooked fish into bite-sized pieces and placing them onto the warmed tortillas.

Step 8

Top the fish with sliced red cabbage, grated carrot, a drizzle of chipotle cream sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest, if desired.
