Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Tortillas (flour or corn) - 2 large
• Shredded cabbage - 1 cup
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Avocado - 1, sliced

• Salsa - 1/2 cup

Steps

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
2. In a bowl, mix lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Coat the fish fillets in the marinade and let them sit for 10 minutes.
4. Place the marinated fish in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
5. Once cooked, remove from heat and flake the fish with a fork.
6. Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or in the microwave for about 20 seconds until pliable.
7. To assemble the burritos, place flaked fish in the center of each tortilla.
8. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and salsa.
9. Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling, folding in the sides as you go.
10. Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges if desired.
