Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Brush the fish fillets with olive oil and then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the fillets.

  4. 4

    Place the seasoned fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    While the fish is baking, mix the sour cream (or yogurt), lime juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl to make the creamy dressing. Set aside.

  6. 6

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  7. 7

    Once the fish is done, remove it from the oven and break it into large pieces.

  8. 8

    Assemble the tacos by placing some pieces of fish in each tortilla, followed by shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices. Drizzle with the creamy dressing and top with chopped cilantro.

  9. 9

    Serve the tacos warm with lime wedges on the side.
