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.
