Description
Delicious Baja Fish Tacos made with seasoned white fish, fresh toppings, and served in warm corn tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the fish and place it on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- While the fish is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, flake the fish into bite-sized pieces and place it on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices.
- Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime juice. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top.
- You can also substitute the fish with shrimp or grilled chicken for a different protein option.
