Ingredients
Scale
1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, grated
½ cup cilantro, chopped
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
1 avocado, sliced (for serving)
Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned fish to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded green and red cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss to mix well. If desired, add mayonnaise for a creamier slaw.
In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the tortillas until soft and pliable.
Place a piece of fish in the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous amount of cabbage slaw.
Top each taco with a slice of avocado for added creaminess.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve with lime wedges on the side.
