Tortillas

Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the fish fillets and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and break into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 5

    In a small bowl, mix sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to make a simple crema sauce.

  2. 6

    Prepare other toppings: shred the cabbage, dice the tomatoes, and slice the jalapeños if using.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 7

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.

  2. 8

    Fill each tortilla with fish pieces, shredded cabbage, crema sauce, and any optional toppings.

  3. 9

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
