Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the white fish fillets and coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.

Taco Assembly

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable and warm.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Lay the warm tortillas flat and add a generous portion of the flaked fish. Top with shredded cabbage, a few slices of avocado, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
