Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado Crema

    In a blender, combine the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the tilapia fillets with this mixture.

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the tilapia for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and flaky.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the fish is grilling, warm the corn tortillas on a separate pan or grill until pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a grilled tilapia fillet on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and a drizzle of avocado crema.

  6. 6
