Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Whisk together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then rub them with vegetable oil and coat with the spice mixture.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the seasoned fish, and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until opaque and flaky.
  4. Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
  5. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and lime zest in a separate bowl to create the zesty lime crema.
  6. Assemble the tacos by laying shredded cabbage on each tortilla, topping with flaky fish, avocado slices, cilantro, and drizzling with lime crema.

Notes

Store leftover components separately. Fish lasts up to 2 days while crema is best used within a day. Experiment with toppings for extra flavor!
