Ingredients Needed
- Fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- Corn or flour tortillas
- For the cabbage slaw:
- Shredded green cabbage
- Shredded purple cabbage
- Grated carrots
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime juice
- Salt and pepper
- For the fish marinade:
- Lime juice
- Garlic powder
- Cumin
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Optional toppings: sour cream, hot sauce, sliced avocados
Preparation Steps
Start by marinating the fish. Mix lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the fish fillets with the marinade and set aside for 15-20 minutes.
While the fish marinates, prepare the cabbage slaw. In a large bowl, combine shredded green and purple cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss well. Let it sit to develop flavor.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated fish until opaque and flaky, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and break into smaller pieces if desired.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble the tacos by placing fish on each tortilla, topping with cabbage slaw, and adding optional toppings like sour cream, hot sauce, or sliced avocado.
