Whatever it is, this Ultimate Fish Taco recipe is sure to bring a fiesta to your plate! I remember the first time I tried making these on a balmy July evening, the gentle breeze carrying the tantalizing aroma through the air, and knew I had found a forever favorite.
Perfect for anyone from the bustling family cook to the adventurous foodie, this recipe is delightfully simple yet bursting with flavor.
- 1 lb white fish (e.g., cod, tilapia)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Lime wedges for serving
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Place fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush both sides with the spice mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, warm the tortillas in a pan for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are soft and pliable. Set aside and keep warm.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and lime juice. Season with salt to taste. This slaw will add a lovely crunch and creaminess to your tacos.
Once the fish is done, break it into pieces with a fork. Place some fish on each tortilla, top with slaw, a few slices of avocado, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately for the best experience.
