Ingredients

• 1 lb white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 8 pieces corn or flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp honey
• 2 cups shredded cabbage (red or green)
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 medium avocado, sliced
• 1 piece jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set a non-stick skillet on medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, you can bake the fish in the oven for 10-12 minutes.

Step 4

While the fish is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and honey. Adjust seasoning to taste with an extra pinch of salt if needed.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side until pliable.

Step 6

Once the fish is cooked, use a fork to break it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos: Place a small handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by pieces of cooked fish. Top with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce. Add sliced jalapeño for extra heat, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your fish tacos with yogurt sauce!
