Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Pat the fish fillets dry and place them in a bowl.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice, then season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side until it flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Remove from heat and break the fish into large chunks.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing fish onto each tortilla.
  7. Top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.
  8. Add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.
  9. Serve immediately with extra lime if desired.

Notes

  • Use shrimp instead of fish for a variation.
  • Add avocado or guacamole for extra creaminess.
  • Use corn tortillas for a more traditional flavor.
  • Store leftover fish separately for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat fish gently and assemble tacos fresh to avoid sogginess.
