Description

These Cozy Fish Tacos are a delightful reminder of breezy beach days, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner with fresh toppings and juicy fish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 1 lime (juiced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or skillet over medium heat.
  2. Mix together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a fragrant spice mixture.
  3. Coat the fish in the spice blend, ensuring it’s beautifully covered.
  4. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s golden and flaky—your kitchen will start to smell heavenly!
  5. Combine sour cream, adobo sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to create a creamy sauce.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a pan until they are soft and pliable.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous piece of fish on each tortilla and topping with crunchy cabbage, creamy avocado, and that luscious sauce.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for that zesty burst of flavor.

Notes

You can marinate the fish in the spice blend a few hours ahead for enhanced flavor. Leftover fish can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
