Description

Delightful blackened fish taco bowls featuring smoky fish, fresh veggies, and a creamy sauce, perfect for a nutritious and quick dinner.


Ingredients

  • 4 fillets of white fish (tilapia, cod, or mahi-mahi)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn, drained
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice for sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder for sauce
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder for sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt for sauce


Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your spice blend. Mix smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Pat the fish dry and rub it with olive oil. Apply the spice blend thoroughly and squeeze lime juice on top.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes per side until blackened and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, mix Greek yogurt with lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt to create the creamy sauce.
  5. Assemble your bowls with rice as the base. Add shredded lettuce or cabbage, black beans, corn, and top it off with the blackened fish fillet.
  6. Finish your masterpiece with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of cilantro. Drizzle with the creamy sauce before serving.

Notes

For best results, choose fish fillets that are evenly sized to ensure even cooking.
