Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture onto the catfish fillets.

  2. 2

    Cook the Catfish

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned catfish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Break the cooked catfish into pieces and place them on the warmed tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Add sour cream and hot sauce if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges and cilantro if desired.
