Taco Filling

Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the white fish fillets in the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Preheat a grill or a non-stick 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 flakes easily with a fork.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

  2. 5

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a portion of shredded cabbage, followed by a piece of cooked fish. Add sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Top with salsa or pico de gallo.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your fresh fish tacos!
