Ingredients for Baja Style Tacos

Method

Directions for Baja Style Tacos

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, cumin powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the white fish to the marinade, coating it evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated fish and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  4. 4

    Prepare Avocado Salsa

    In a bowl, mash the avocados and squeeze the juice of half a lime into them. Mix well, adding salt to taste. Optionally, you can add diced tomatoes or chopped onions.

  5. 5

    Prepare Chipotle Crème

    In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the chipotle in adobo sauce until well combined. Adjust spice level to taste.

  6. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  7. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a portion of the cooked fish, followed by a handful of coleslaw mix, a spoonful of avocado salsa, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of chipotle crème. Top with fresh cilantro leaves.

  8. 8

    Serve

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