Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - 200 grams
• Lime juice - 30 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Cabbage - 100 grams, shredded
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Avocado - 1 small, sliced
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, 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 about 15 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings: shred the cabbage, dice the tomato, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado.
4. Heat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
6. Once the fish is done, flake it with a fork and assemble the tacos by placing the fish on the warm tortillas.
7. Top with shredded cabbage, diced tomato, cilantro, and avocado. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
