Description

Delicious crispy grilled fish tacos featuring fresh fish and vibrant toppings with a refreshing cabbage slaw.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or similar)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • Sour cream or yogurt (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the fish fillets.
  3. Grill the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. While the fish is grilling, prepare the cabbage slaw by combining shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix well.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.

Notes

Consider marinating the fish for 30 minutes before grilling for extra flavor. Customize the slaw by adding diced jalapeños or shredded carrots.
