Ingredients

• Cilantro (chopped) - 15 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
3. While the fish marinates, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Once hot, add the marinated fish to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until flaky and cooked through.
5. Remove the fish from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
6. In the same skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing the flaked fish on each tortilla, then topping with diced pineapple, chopped red onion, and cilantro.
