Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Chipotle powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Low-carb tortillas - 4 pieces
• Pineapple, diced - 100 grams
• Red onion, diced - 50 grams
• Cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Lime wedges - 2 pieces

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, apple cider vinegar, chipotle powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for 15 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings by combining diced pineapple, red onion, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl.
4. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.
5. Once cooked, remove the fish from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
6. To assemble the tacos, place a few pieces of the grilled fish onto each low-carb tortilla, top with the pineapple and onion mixture, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
7. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
