⏱ 30 min🍽 Serves 4Mexicantacoseasypescatarian

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb cod fillets
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • ½ head red cabbage
  • 2 lime
  • ½ bunch cilantro
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 avocado (optional)
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)

Steps

  1. Prepare the slaw: Thinly slice the red cabbage and chop half of the cilantro. In a bowl, combine cabbage, cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper; toss to combine.
  2. Make the lime crema: In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, the juice of the remaining 1 lime, and garlic powder until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Season the fish: Pat cod fillets dry. In a small bowl, combine cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
  4. Grill the fish: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the fish with olive oil. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Warm tortillas: While the fish cooks, warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable.
  6. Assemble tacos: Flake the grilled fish into bite-sized pieces. Divide the fish among the warm tortillas. Top with the prepared cabbage slaw and a generous drizzle of lime crema. Add sliced avocado and hot sauce if desired.
