  • Tamarind paste - 2 tablespoons
  • Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix tamarind paste, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade and let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets.
  4. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  5. While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
  6. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and flake it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. To assemble the tacos, place some flaked fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, cilantro, avocado slices, and radish.
  8. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
