Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs white fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, or snapper)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8-10 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- Lime wedges for serving
- For the Lime Crema:
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
- Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it’s cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Let it rest for a few minutes, then flake it into bite-sized pieces.
- While the fish is grilling, prepare the lime crema. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with flaked grilled fish, shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion.
- Drizzle generously with the lime crema.
- Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- You can marinate the fish for 15-30 minutes before grilling for extra flavor.
- Add your favorite taco toppings like avocado, salsa, or jalapeños.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can pan-sear the fish.
