Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (green or purple)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 limes, juiced (plus wedges for serving)

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and rub with a mixture of garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned fish for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  3. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or over a gas flame for about 30 seconds on each side.
  4. Mix sour cream with the juice of one lime and a pinch of salt to make the lime crema.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing fish on tortillas, topping with cabbage, avocado, and lime crema, and garnishing with cilantro.
