Ingredients

• 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 corn tortillas
• 2 cups cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 jalapeño, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets. Cut them into strips suitable for tacos.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the fish strips into the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the fish marinates, prepare the toppings: shred cabbage, dice tomatoes, chop red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño, and slice the avocado.

Step 5

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated fish strips in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly golden.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or directly over the flame of a gas stove until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of fish on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, sliced avocado, and jalapeño.

Step 8

Drizzle a dollop of Greek yogurt on each taco for a creamy finish.

Step 9

Serve immediately, and enjoy your healthy Mediterranean Diet Baja Fish Tacos!
