Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as 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 - 1/4 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Cabbage (shredded) - 1 cup
• Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 1/4 cup
• Avocado (sliced) - 1 medium
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
• Lime wedges - 2 for serving

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the fish from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. While the fish is grilling, warm the corn tortillas on a separate skillet over low heat for about 1 minute on each side.
6. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
7. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of grilled fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and slices of avocado.
8. Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side.
