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!
