Fish

Tortillas

Cabbage Slaw

Lime Crema

Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the white fish fillets and coat them well. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill 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 into large pieces.

Make the Cabbage Slaw

  1. 3

    Combine Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well to combine and set aside for the flavors to meld for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the Lime Crema

  1. 4

    Mix the Crema Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt to taste until smooth. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    To assemble, place a few pieces of grilled fish on each tortilla, top with a generous amount of cabbage slaw, and drizzle with lime crema. Serve immediately.
