Fish Taco Ingredients

Method

Fish Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the white fish fillets and coat them evenly. Marinate for 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a portion of the flaked fish on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, salsa, and slices of avocado.

  5. 5

    Serve

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