Ingredients

  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 pieces corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 whole lime
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Rub this mixture over both sides of the fish fillets.

Step 3

Drizzle olive oil over the fish fillets to lightly coat them.

Step 4

Place the fish on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

Remove the fish from the grill and set aside.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, red onion, and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture and toss to combine.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining half of the lime and stir to combine.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or in the oven until they are pliable.

Step 9

To assemble, flake the fish into large pieces and place them onto the warm tortillas.

Step 10

Top each taco with the cabbage slaw, and drizzle with the sour cream sauce.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges or cilantro as desired.
