Ingredients

  • 4 white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage (for topping)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)
  • Fresh lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Rub the fish fillets with the marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  4. 4

    Place the marinated fish on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    While the fish is grilling, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

  6. 6

    Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the grill and break it into bite-sized pieces.

  7. 7

    Assemble the tacos by placing some grilled fish on each tortilla, topping it with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs (cilantro and parsley).

  8. 8

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy flavor.
