Ingredients

1.5 pound white fish fillets (firm)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.5 head green cabbage (shredded)
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
2 tablespoon lime juice (fresh)
1 avocado (sliced)
10 tortillas (corn or small flour)
0.25 cup sour cream

Instructions

Pat 1 1/2 pounds fish fillets dry. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Rub spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.
For the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 head shredded green cabbage, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Toss to combine and set aside to let flavors meld.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned fish and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through and flaky.
While fish cooks, warm 10-12 tortillas according to package directions (microwave, dry skillet, or oven).
Once fish is cooked, break it into large flakes. Assemble tacos by filling warmed tortillas with the fish, a generous spoonful of cilantro slaw, and a few slices of 1 avocado. Add sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

You can pan-fry the fish instead of grilling. Serve with a side of your favorite salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor.
