Ingredients

• 1 pound white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces small corn or flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded red cabbage
• 0.25 cup diced red onion
• 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 piece chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lime zest

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn to coat evenly and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

To make the chipotle sauce, blend together sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, honey, and lime zest in a food processor. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, toss together shredded cabbage, red onion, and cilantro to make the slaw.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, until pliable.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, divide the fish evenly among the tortillas. Top with cabbage slaw and a drizzle of chipotle sauce.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
