Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

• Avocado, diced - 1 medium
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons

• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Tahini - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the white fish fillets to the marinade and coat well. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the sauce by combining Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and water in a separate bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets to the skillet.
5. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
6. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
7. To assemble, place a portion of the cooked fish on each tortilla, then top with sliced red cabbage, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
8. Drizzle the prepared yogurt sauce over the top of the tacos before serving.
