Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (e.g., tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Red cabbage - 100 grams, shredded
  • Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Avocado - 1, sliced
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
  • Hot sauce (optional) - to taste

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
  6. Once the fish is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing flaked fish on the warm tortillas, then top with shredded red cabbage, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  8. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve immediately.
