Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (e.g., tilapia or cod) - 200 grams
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 small (about 15 cm diameter)
  • Cabbage, finely shredded - 1 cup
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
  • Lime wedges - 2 for serving
  • Greek yogurt - 3 tablespoons
  • Hot sauce - to taste

Steps

  1. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Coat the fish fillets with the marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. While the fish marinates, prepare the lime crema by mixing Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  6. To assemble the tacos, place a piece of grilled fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of lime crema. Add hot sauce if desired.
  7. Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
