Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (like cod or tilapia) - 250 grams
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 small
  • Red cabbage, shredded - 100 grams
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
  • Avocado, sliced - 1/2 medium
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
  • Salsa (optional) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, 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 red cabbage, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan for about 1 minute on each side until pliable.
  6. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add salsa if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Tacos de Pescado!
