Description

Delightful fish tacos made with flaky white fish, crisp cabbage, and a zesty sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or special gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 1 lime (juiced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat, giving it a few moments to warm up to the perfect cooking temperature.
  2. Combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and stir until fragrant.
  3. Coat the fish with the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly covered.
  4. Place the fish onto the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and flaky.
  5. Mix together sour cream, adobo sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt for a creamy sauce.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in another skillet until soft and pliable.
  7. Assemble your tacos by placing a piece of fish on each tortilla, topping with cabbage, avocado, and a drizzle of sauce.
  8. Finish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

You can prepare the creamy sauce a day in advance for more flavor. Leftover fish is great in salads or quesadillas.
