Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • Salsa or hot sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Brush the marinade over the fish fillets on both sides.

  4. 4

    Place the marinated fish on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    While the fish is grilling, prepare the cabbage slaw. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, grated carrots, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss to combine and season with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Once the fish is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Then, break it into bite-sized pieces.

  7. 7

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  8. 8

    To assemble the tacos, layer the grilled fish onto the warmed tortillas and top with the cabbage slaw. Serve with sour cream and salsa or hot sauce if desired.
