Ingredients

• 1 pound white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves (chopped)
• 2 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the fish marinates, warm the corn tortillas using a skillet or directly over the flame on a gas stove for about 30 seconds per side. Wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Step 5

Grill or cook the marinated fish on the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and use a fork to break the fish into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by placing some shredded red cabbage and diced tomatoes on each tortilla. Add pieces of cooked fish, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness before eating.
