Ingredients

Scale

For the Fish Tacos:

1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 small corn or flour tortillas

For the Cilantro Lime Slaw:

2 cups shredded cabbage

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cilantro Lime Slaw: In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to marinate while you prepare the fish.

2. Season the Fish: In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.

3. Cook the Fish: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and break into smaller pieces.

4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted.

5. Assemble the Tacos: Place a portion of the cooked fish onto each tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of the cilantro lime slaw.

6. Serve the fish tacos immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges and cilantro if desired.

Notes

Success Tips: For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped jalapeños to the tacos before serving.

Pairing Suggestions: Serve with black beans, rice, or a side of guacamole for a complete meal.
