Ingredients

• 1 lb white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 sliced avocado
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 4 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill pan over medium heat if grilling the fish.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the fish fillets evenly with olive oil and sprinkle the spice blend over both sides of the fish.

Step 5

Place the fish in a lightly greased baking dish or directly onto the preheated grill pan. Bake or grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the fish cooks, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Prepare the lime crema by mixing the sour cream, lime zest, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 8

When the fish is done, flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork.

Step 9

Assemble the tortillas: Layer each tortilla with shredded lettuce, flaked fish, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of lime crema.

Step 10

Garnish the tortillas with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
