Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw is a delightful recipe that combines seasoned fish with fresh cabbage slaw in warm tortillas.

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 carrot, grated
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)

  1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the seasoned fish to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. 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.
  5. In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the tortillas until soft and pliable.
  6. Place a piece of fish in the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous amount of cabbage slaw.
  7. Top each taco with a slice of avocado for added creaminess.
  8. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve with lime wedges on the side.
