Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (e.g., tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
  • Fresh lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic cloves - 4, minced
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Cabbage - 100 grams, thinly sliced
  • Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
  • Low-carb tortillas - 4

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the white fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the low-carb tortillas according to package instructions.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated fish. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Remove the fish from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
  6. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the flaked fish onto each tortilla. Top with sliced cabbage, avocado, and chopped cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
