Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

    Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

  5. 5

    While the fish is grilling, combine the shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt in a bowl to create the cabbage slaw.

  6. 6

    In another small bowl, mix the sour cream or Greek yogurt with lime juice and zest to prepare the lime crema.

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.

    To assemble the tacos, place a piece of grilled fish in each tortilla, top with cabbage slaw, and drizzle with lime crema. Serve immediately.
