Fish Tacos

These Fish Tacos are a delightful blend of tender, seasoned fish wrapped in warm tortillas and topped with a fresh, zesty slaw. Perfect for a high-protein lunch, they offer a burst of flavors with every bite.

Ingredients

• White fish (cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Cabbage (shredded) - 1 cup
• Carrot (shredded) - 1/2 cup
• Cilantro (chopped) - 1/4 cup
• Sour cream - 4 tablespoons
• Hot sauce - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
2. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Add the fish to the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated, and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
4. Place the marinated fish in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. While the fish is cooking, prepare the slaw by mixing the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro in a separate bowl.
6. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a splash of lime juice and season with salt to taste.
7. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
8. Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of fish on each tortilla, topping with the slaw and a drizzle of the sour cream mixture.
9. Add hot sauce to taste and serve immediately.
