Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Add the white fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated fish on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Rest and Flake the Fish

    Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking into bite-sized pieces.

Cabbage Slaw Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 6

    Dress the Slaw

    Add lime juice and salt to the vegetable mix. Toss until everything is well combined and the cabbage is slightly wilted.

Chipotle Aioli Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, and minced garlic.

Taco Assembly

  1. 8

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 9

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place some grilled fish in the center of each tortilla, followed by a generous helping of cabbage slaw, a few slices of avocado, a drizzle of chipotle aioli, and a spoonful of salsa.
