Ingredients

Scale

Fish:

  • 1.5 lbs white fish fillets (cod, mahi-mahi, or tilapia), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lime, juiced

Cabbage Slaw:

  • 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1/4 head purple cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional:

  • 12 corn or flour tortillas, warmed
  • Optional toppings: avocado slices, pico de gallo, sour cream, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Fish: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add fish pieces and toss to coat evenly. Squeeze lime juice over the fish. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Cabbage Slaw: In a large bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, shredded purple cabbage, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey (or agave nectar), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Tortillas: Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Warm tortillas on each side for 15-20 seconds until slightly softened.
  4. Cook Fish: Cook marinated fish in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through. Alternatively, bake fish in the oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
  5. Assemble Tacos: Place cooked fish on a tortilla, top with cabbage slaw and optional toppings. Fold the tortilla in half to create a taco. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the tacos.
  • Feel free to customize the slaw with additional vegetables like bell peppers or red onions.
  • Adjust the seasoning of the fish and slaw according to your taste preferences.
